Ohhhhh the West Virginia hills...

Its time for another episode of Molly packs up her kid and takes her away to the mountains!  I'm running away on Friday and I don't care who knows it. No, we aren't scouting for locations for our zombie apocalypse bunker/camp.  Just seeking some quality time with the family back home.  Lovin' on some old folks who need it and getting some love for ourselves. 

Had a decent week.  Did a lot of work on some papers and got pretty good grades in kind.  I'm thinking this semester is going to fly by like the rest but with better grades to show for it.  Before you know it, I'll be blogging about being a new nurse.  I am very excited for that day to come.  The monkey was so excited to go to school and have her "Balentimes Day" party.  I got her all dolled up in hearts today.  Even got a brush through the hair!

Had a fun show with baby sister this weekend.  She got us all caught up and for all intents and purposes, it was like a recorded phone conversation we'd have any other day of the week.  Hopefully it is as entertaining as I think it is in my head. 

Next weekend, February 24th, Jon Gent will be sharing his film insights and opinions with us.  I'm real excited about that one.  Ooooo, and Lara the Zombie Expert's husband Bryan will be joining us sometime in May or June to talk about Mothman and Shadow people.  It may be a two-parter. Excellent things to come!

More soon...or later,
Molly

Should have been there....


Greetings!

We had a super fun and informative episode of Greetings from Kentucky Live via Blog Talk Radio on Friday night.  You can listen to it right here and you should go do that as soon as possible so you know the Zombie odds and how to approach your survival.  Meanwhile, I'm pondering building out the crawl space under my house a bit for comfort.  I think we e could get a better door, seal some nooks and crannies up, install some benches and find a creative source for heat.  Figure out some non-perishables for our food supply and how to tell the kid we had to kill the dogs for protein.

Planning on packing up the kid in a few weeks and driving to WV. Mom's had a rough run with Grandma and is nearing complete caregiver burnout.  My mom is a nurse, but she doesn't need to be her mom's nurse.  Considering the situation, there's plenty of room to lose objectivity.  Also, I need a change of scenery for a few days and I absolutely love traveling with my daughter. Its just special and I love that we have places to go to that within a reasonable drive.  I'm pretty lucky in that regard. 

I've been thinking about job prospects once school is over and I'm considering applying to hospitals outside of the one associated with my current school.  From everything I've heard (and know from working and schooling here) there are much better places to be.  Its kind of a milestone for me to disassociate from this place.  I've been here for a long time and it wouldn't hurt me to get out in the world a bit. 

Love,
Molly
