Resignations and Looking for a New Job

So, I submitted my resignation today. I told my boss what was going on and told her I didn't know specifically when I was leaving but it would likely be in the next one to three months. She was upset that I was leaving but she understood my reasoning and my need to take care of a family member.("Family comes first," she said, "It's the same as if you'd had a baby and decided that you needed to stay home so I'm not really upset.") I think she'll go ahead and post my position and give time to find someone and have me train them. I told her I'd always be available through phone or e-mail if they needed my help with something. I want to leave on good terms and not be remembered as the person that screwed everything up and then walked out.

Right now, I'm just sending my resume in to places that have jobs that I can do. Administrative Assistant, Office Manager, Records clerk. I applied for a position as a Records clerk in New Bern. The Director of HR for the company e-mailed me back and said she would be looking for an HR assistant soon. She asked for my salary requirement (and didn't respond "Lawlz" when I told her what it was) and when I'd be able to start working. So, I'm starting to get hopeful now that I'll find something.
