Prepping on a Budget
So, TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it) is coming. How do you prepare? Better yet, how do you prepare on a tight budget? Well, the way I'm doing it is by buying reference books and looking for the easiest and cheapest solutions. Sure, I'd love to buy a farm, farm animals, and all kinds of alternative energy creating toys, but that is not going to happen. I plan to buy books to reference, and hopefully take some classes, to learn useful skills. And I'd like to have items I may not be able to use, but another survivor may be able to for the benefit of us all. Surgery tools, dental tools, extra fabric. If we can't get items we need, like clothes or soap, we had better know how to make it!

Cold!
Well boys and girls, I made it out of my office, just in time. However, now I have another issue. It's winter, and it is cold! In my hurry to flee, I forgot my phone, and more importantly, my jacket and car keys! Are there any other living beings about? No, it looks like everyone has fled. Are there zombies about? You betcha! So how do I get home to my prepper paradise before I freeze or get eaten? Any suggestions?

Office Scenario
Well, it is eerily silent as I type this. It is my late week to work and everyone else in the office has gone home for the weekend, even the receptionists. All you hear is the humming of the heating going on and off. When we normally have over 100 in the office at a time, you can imagine how odd the silence sounds. Now imagine the shatering of glass, followed by the shuffling of feet. You are in cubicle world, so you can't pinpoint where it is coming from, and it is too dangerous to poke your head up over the cubicles because you might be seen. Are you armed? What can you use at your desk that might protect you from the walking dead? Is there anything around you that you can use? How will you get back to your home? Is there anyone left alive at home? Think, run, survive....

Sorry
Sorry for the lack of posts. I've been dealing with a few issues plus my iPad likes to act up so I'm mostly blogging from work during break. Anyway, just a short thought for today, in honor of the Twinkie. What is the food you would miss the most if TSHTF? For me that would be easy; chocolate. I weep at the thought of not being able to indulge in that. More to come; soon I hope!

Appointment
Well, I had a dentist appointment today. Routine checkup, all is good. It did get me thinking. If TSHTF and we don't have access to basic care, how would that affect us? Personally, I'm blind as a bat without my glasses. Without access to my glasses, say they break, I'm in a heap of trouble. Hunting, guard duty, even daily tasks, suddenly become difficult if not impossible. I guess I could get my eyes fixed now, but I'd have to convince my hubby it's in our best interest. Don't think I'll have much luck with that. I do keep my old pair of glasses as a backup, but I'm starting to think glasses may be something to hoard in the future. Something to think about at least.

So it begins...
And thus the journey begins....I am unable to reveal my sources, but I have dire news. Some evil entity has begun an attempt to destroy the U.S as we know it. Not content to destroy our economy and our moral values, this unknown force has plans to infiltrate our food supply. The easiest to attack will of course be food distribution centers, such as a fast food warehouse. They have created a virus that was designed to sicken the entire country, crippling it even farther. However, my sourses tell me they have closer examined the virus. Instead of illness, once triggered it will not just sicken the host, it will kill it and revive it as a mindless zombie! My sources are trying to prevent this, but are unsure if they can. The virus will be activated on July 27th, 2013. We must prepare! Avoid mainstream food if at all possible. Grow your own if that is feasable. And prepare to defend yourself from zombies and what would surely be a societal collapse. I will be blogging my attempts to prepare. Good luck fellow preppers, you have been warned!

Sorry for the delay loyal followers. (All one of you!) I must have a glitch on my i Pad. It keeps giving me an error whenever I try to blog. Anyway, I sense something big on the horizon. I feel like a revelation will soon happen. We'll have to see. :) So, I am excited and apprehensive of the next 200+ days. I know I can get back into shape, but it is going to be difficult. I am by nature a lazy person, which is why I look like I do now. My teenage daughter is generously volunteering her services as my trainer. If I can outrun and dodge her by this summer, I may stand a chance at surviving the Zombie Apocalypse.
So I watched the first 3 episodes of The Walking Dead today. Those zombies are faster and smarter than most. Should be good research material...as long as I don't watch it right before bed!
Tomorrow is a new day. Let the adventure begin!!!

So, after last night's election it looks like I'll have to modify my blog a bit. I need to add economic disaster as the precurser to the zombie apocalypse. So, an enemy is working at destroying America. Starting with social unrest, economic hardship, and our morals going to heck in a handbasket. Basically, a continuation of the last 4 years. Unknown to the general public this enemy will tamper with our food source. All fast food resturants will have the zombie virus introduced to it. Some lucky souls will get a warning on November 12th. It is up to those lucky few to prepare and save as many people as they can.
More to come...

Wish
Sorry for the delay. I tried to update the blog last night but the site was having some errors. I wanted to respond to a comment. The one that said I should buy some land and hide stuff there. Well, heck yeah! That would be my ideal. I'd love to buy a hobby farm of at least 10 acres. Preferably about 3/4 forest, 1/4 tillable land with a river or lake attached. I'd love to give up my 9-5 job and raise crops, kids, and farm animals, but I don't ever see being able to afford to do that. So as much as I would like to dream, I need to figure out how to bunker down in my 90+ year old, energy guzzling, impossible to defend, not enough land to grow adequate crops or raise animals little suburban slice of Heaven. I have my work cut out for me. Guess I'll just have to get creative.....

So, I changed the font due to feedback from the hubby. Not too much to add tonight. It is the weekend so I'm feeling ill. Happens every weekend. Probably just stress build up from the week. However, it did get me thinking. What to do about medicines? I'm on several myself and I have friends and family on insulin. If I lost weight and got active, I might be ok without my meds, but what about my friends? I need to look into if it is possible to stockpile those meds and others, like medicines to numb wounds before suturing. Also, another thought is how to stockpile food to hide from looters or even possible seizure by the government to "share" with everyone. I have a rather small property, so this will require good planning. Something to ponder upon....

Premise
I'm back. So here is the premise. On Nov. 12 I have a vision (or the government gives me a heads up ) that the zombie apocalypse will start on July 27, 2013. Now what?! I need to get in shape. I need to know how to support and protect my family when the you know what hits the fan. I need to stockpile chocolate! Why the specific dates you are probably asking yourself. Well, November 12th is when my work implements it's Hold for the Holidays contest. It's a close starting date and is extra motivation to hold or hopefully lose weight. And July 27? That is the Run For Your Lives 5k obstacle course in MN. If I can complete it I'll be impressed. If I can avoid being turned into a zombie, I'll be flabbergasted! Well, that's enough for now. I promised my daughter she could use the iPad tonight if she watched her brother while I wrote this. Don't laugh, it works! Whoops! Crying baby. Have to go!
