From Nurse to Patient Weekly Link Round-Up

Links are a bit light on the ground this week. As many of you know, Denis and I were clobbered by a nasty stomach virus last week. For me this meant that I didn't pick up a book, and I didn't turn on my computer. (Like I said-- nasty!) There have been weeks that were bulging with links, so this one just evens out the score a bit.

The good news is that Denis is bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and back to work. Me? I'm still getting a bit tired if I forget and try to woge into a super hero (any Grimm fans?), but I'm back to attending events at The Poisoned Pen!

Let's see what I did manage to round up for you....
