Happier Things

My post yesterday was very negative. I figure I should probably go the opposite way and mention some of the good things that happened this last week.

♥ our new cousin Liam

♥ the kids made dinner each day this week

♥ got the new kitchen floor installed

♥ when I went by Ronnie & Miranda's (this was actually the week before) and went to cuddle Binx (one of my grandkitties), he put a paw on each of my cheeks and started licking my chin, which is one of the cutest things ever

♥ during our Saturday Check In (which is really just a zoom call with church folks catching up), our Pastor's kitten kept jumping on the laptop and putting her face in the camera

♥ several of the most important folks in my life have gotten their first dose of the vaccine! And one of our church folks was working the vaccination clinic this weekend and was able to get several of our folks on the list for the "extra" vaccines at the end of the day

♥ I started watching Lucifer and I love it!

♥ the inauguration!

♥ the engagement ring that Ronnie ordered came in (he's proposing on Valentine's Day since that's their anniversary)

♥ Walker Texas Ranger premiered! (I haven't watched it yet, but YAY! for JPad!)

♥ the nurse at Illiana's elementary school texted me several times to check on me and see if I need anything (she's so great; I love her)

♥ hockey is back! #hockeyisaliferuiner

♥ the girls have been facetiming me most days since they can't be here

Challenge #10

In your own space, write a love letter to Fandom in general, to a particular fandom, to a trope, a relationship, a character, creator, episode, or it could be your fandom friends. Share your love and squee as loud as you want to. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I've been in so many different "fandoms" over the last 20 years, but the collective fandom - knowing there are other people who are excited about something - is such an important place to me. I have learned so much about myself as I've navigated through fandoms. I've discovered new things to enjoy and tried things I never would have tried. The best part of fandom is, of course, the friends. I don't know who is on DW these days, so I can't tag them like I would on LJ. There are so many people I have connected with, but the Rocketships, my other Reno girls (Wendy, De, and Andrea), my Texas girls (Heather, Stevie, Jamie, Shonna, Lesa, Eryn), Leah, Rachel, and a bunch of others in various places across the US/Canada and across the globe - I am looking foward to being able to travel again because I miss your faces! Thank you for being here and supporting me in fandom and in real life, through cons and concerts and computers. I love you all so much!
