I’m really happy to hear your dad is better, and I hope he continues to improve! <3 Sending good thoughts your way!

Thank you so much. He’s not all the way back because he’s still very weak but he’s doing his physical therapy and really trying to get better. In many ways, he’s more like his old self than he’s been in years. Yesterday, he played his guitars and sang me all the songs that were my lullabies when I was little – Where Do the Children Play by Cat Stevens, Sandman by America, and Ain’t No Sunshine by Bill Withers. That’s what passed for bedtime songs when your dad was in a band in the 1970s. lol And Dad told me a bunch of fairly dirty jokes so I think that mentally he’s himself again. 

In other good news, my new screen arrived yesterday and Michael fixed my computer! YAY. I can make gifs and captions again. I feel like I missed a lot of the good stuff from the last con and I just didn’t see that many gifs from it. So if anyone has any moments they’d liked to see giffed from SFCon, please send me an ask or message me. I’m going to be with Dad all day again but now I can use my computer while he does other stuff so that makes me very happy. ❤

Just a quick update for my anons who asked why I haven’t been around as much: I told you guys about how my dad got very sick at the beginning of November. He’s much, much better now, thank goodness, but he still can’t be home by himself for an extended period of time. My mom works full time so my brother and I are supposed to take turns staying there while she’s working. Except of course that my brother lives like 3 hours away. He was doing pretty well about getting down here to help until around Thanksgiving. He hasn’t been been back since then. That leaves me and sometimes my 18 year-old niece to help. So every single day, I pack up my 3 year-old and we drive 45 minutes to mom and dad’s house and try to keep dad healthy and in good spirits. I was taking my computer with me and doing some gifs and stuff whenever Dad was resting, but this past weekend, my husband broke the screen. Now I can only use it by hooking it to the TV and using that as the monitor. But I can’t do that at mom and dad’s since dad’s always watching something or other on TV. 

My brother was planning on being back here today so I could have some time off but he flaked on me. Now he swears he’ll be here by Monday. I hope he keeps his word this time because I just want my normal life back for a few days. Plus I want to make gifs and talk to people and find good stuff to reblog on here. At least the replacement screen for my computer is supposed to be arriving today, THANK GOD. I feel so far out of the loop and I miss everyone. 

I’ve had ideas for captions kicking around in my head since the last episode and I haven’t been able to do them. That is so frustrating. I guess I can do all the captions I’ve been thinking about over winter hiatus. 

Anyway, thank you all for sticking with me and for sending me kind thoughts and just for everything. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without the friends I’ve made on here.

What do you think about the new video of the j2 m’ s campaign? Good things j2? I haven’t seen it!

I’ve seen it and I teared up a little at the fact that they’re using the money to help families in need at Christmas time. I wish I could gif from it but I am currently without a computer. 😦 My husband broke the screen on mine and the replacement isn’t coming until Thursday. Hopefully he can switch out the screens before Supernatural is on that night. Fingers crossed!

Your “Captions for the Wincest Impaired” are honestly one of my favorite things on this website. Keep up the good work!

Oh my gosh- thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I’m working on two caption sets based on last night’s episode right now and I can’t decide which scene I’m going to do first. There were so many good things about it! I’m very happy with the new Supernatural writers so far. Now if the show would just stop letting the horrifying duo write important episodes like 12×02 and the upcoming midseason finale, I’d be a happy camper. Anyway, bless you for being such a sweetheart and sending me this. You’re good people.

If anyone was wondering why I’m not doing con stuff right now, it’s because my dad had some seizures and is back in the hospital. I’ll be watching the con stuff and hopefully I’ll be able to gif later.

I love you!!!don’t be grumpy!!I’m sending you a lot of love and kissessssssssssss

I happily accept the love and all the kisses you’ve got. I’m still fairly grumpy and it’s not all just random. I’ll tell you about it real quick while I wait for the show to start. 

They moved my dad to this nursing home/pulmonary rehab place yesterday. It was supposed to be decent and the only pulmonary rehab in the area. It was not nice there at all but we didn’t have other options for the pulmonary stuff. Then we found out that they weren’t actually doing any of that stuff yesterday like they were supposed to. Now we have to find a new place for him. 

Last night we had a small birthday party there for my daughter Mikie who turned 8 today just so Dad could see her open her presents from him and Mom. Then we had to speed home because guess what? My husband was born 10 minutes from Wrigley Field. He’s been a Cubs superfan his whole life so the world series was a HUGE deal. You all probably know what happened there and of course we were up until 2:30 am. Today my kids had dentist appointments at 8:00 am and that ended up taking ALL MORNING. 

We had another get together for Mikie for my husband’s side of the family tonight and I’m finally sitting down to watch the show. I feel so out of loop- I missed all the good stuff that happened in the past couple days. 😦 But the show is on and hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. 

Thank you so much for trying to cheer me up. You’re awesome.
