About Me
- MLee
- I am an ER nurse and a SANE. I work at the busiest ER in the state and live in the middle of nowhere. I make a commute because by the time I am finished with my shift, I really don't want to deal with people. My little farm is my way of having peace and unwinding. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, yet there are times I ask why people do the things that they do.
