Update...
So, I've realized that it's been quite a while since I really shared anything going on in my life and its time that I get a few things off my chest.
I'll start with my trip to Jacksonville, for the SPN Convention. But, I have to rewind it back to Tuesday, to be honest. I still wasn't feeling well and my cough came back in full vengeance. I was sick over the new year and was given the Z-pack to clear up my symptoms. I was feeling better and doing well about two weeks after I completed the Z-pack. So, I made an appointment to see the doctor and hearing what I had I was shocked, to say the least. I had a severe sinus infection, severe ear infection, and severe upper respiratory infection which could have turned into pneumonia if I waiting until after my trip. So with all my symptoms, I even had a fever, so I called out from work to get some of the medication in my system before the trip. Thursday morning came and my Dad brought Mom and me to the airport. Our flight was on time and we had to wait for the airplane to be de-iced due to the snowy weather the night before. The de-iced was orange. SO once that was completed our plane took off and we made it to Florida. We took a shuttle from the airport to the hotel and there were a few fans in the shuttle as well going to the convention. We got to the hotel and were placed on the 18th floor. We had good seats at the end of our row, easier for Mom with her knee. We met a few people near us and talked with them during the convention. This time I was able to experience the entire convention and enjoyed the karaoke party and the concert. I was quite excited to meet Jim Beaver and have him autograph something for me. He told me that I was a smart allick like himself and that he liked that. LOL. It made my day I have to say. I had my photo taken with all the cast members and love Jim's and Death's photo. I really enjoyed myself and Mom did as well. I loved Mark's panel the best and fangirling over the idea that he loves the bromance relationship with Dean. LOL. It was awesome. Jim and Mark shared about the kiss experience and know that Jim has soft lips. It was a blast. Jared, Jensen, and Misha were wonderful like usual and it was great to see them in high spirits. Though, the best part of my trip was seeing Jared and Jensen at the airport at 5 AM without their bodyguard. I did take some pictures to prove my facts, but I love how Jensen had the smaller carry-on compared to Jared. Sadly, my flight home was canceled. We were placed on the last flight out of Jacksonville at 7 PM. Well, we got lucky and got on a plane to Baltimore and waiting around till about 9 PM (about 9 hours sitting in the airport) to head home to Manchester. All due to the weather along the east coast. I may talk more about the convention in another post, but right now I wanted to share some of it. I met some very nice people there and it was nice to talk about something we both enjoyed and loved.
Now, about writing. I don't really want to bitch and complain about it, I do enough of that with some friends. So, it's been a long journey back to a happy place with writing since my horrible realization that my Big Bang was never going to work, let alone, made to make sense. I fell down a deep dark hole but found the light to crawl out of it. I've been working on shorter stories and surprisingly original work. I have to say this community helped me work through my writing issues and find a confidence I most likely would never have found on my own. So, I have to thank,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
madrona_project for helping me find my way back to my journey of writing. I wrote a complete bingo in a family journal style that I'm quite happy with and continue to explore in that fashion. I've been able to do a few DEW challenges and a friending meme and been welcomed with open arms. It's another part of my plan, put myself out there more. Meet new people and explore my writing that I never thought possible. And as much as I want to complain about my writing, I have to admit that I've gotten better. My writing has improved and I'm learning how to expand my story that works best for me and my style. I may not be posting much with fics or anything, but I'm writing. I'm writing things that I enjoy and want to learn more about. I enjoy writing for myself and really noticing the small steps I've taken to improve my writing. I made myself a promise to work on the Big Bang when I have time because I still want to write the story and explore the characters in ways I never thought possible. I always felt jealous that writers have a sense of communication with their characters. For example like they truly talk to them and help them write the story at hand. And I was filling a gift fic for Christmas for a friend and was struggling with a prompt she originally gave me a while ago. I struggled with it and was encouraged to try something else. I was able to do it. I wrote an entire story all in one sitting and it came out pretty damn good. I do have some fics in the works now and hoping to work on them in the near future.
I've had a week of hell at work. My boss came in to do an observation in the classroom and I had to deal with a child having a hard time and needing lots of redirection. I was pretty much told, "now that's she's calmed down, you can go back to the other children." She told me rudely and very sarcastically in front of the children and the other adults in the room. I had to deal with the child again and I felt like she was waiting for something, anything and then the child kicked her. She never spoke to me about what happened and expected my co-teacher to tell me what the plan was for this child. Then I got yelled at for telling a new person about our night meetings and how we have done them in the past, but yet I was the only one who was working to get the meeting set up and prepared for the parents and children. She has no spoken with me at all and it's going on about two weeks now. So, I will keep doing what I'm doing and taking care of those children the best way I know.

I'm really happy that you and your mum had a good time at the con and that meeting Jim Beaver was awesome, I love that guy. I have a feeling that when you spotted the boys at the airport that they looked absolutely knackered(tired).Looking forward to hearing more about your time at the Con in Florida.
Good for you on your writing, I am very pleased that you found an outlet that has helped you in the writing process.
Your boss sounds like a real bitch, I'm sorry for using that word to describe her but that's what she comes across as.
*hugs you close*
