Went to breakfast with my dad again today, since he's still in town. Recording is going well, and he's hopeful they'll finish everything up for this album that he'd hoped! Sounds like another trip maybe later this year, which might be to finish it up all the way for real. It sounds like all the recording should be complete this time, though. He still seems quite happy with it. He said he's surprised how cohesive it is, which was part of what he thought was going to necessitate a lot of discarding some of the material, because it's been a project of a couple years.
I did not call the insurance company this week. I was at my mom and Taylor's through Tuesday afternoon, and then Alex and I went out on a walk that day, and I just... didn't. Should I have? Absolutely. I'd rather just gouge out the potential melanomas with a butter knife than have to talk to insurance again.
Still no results on the potential melanomas, but it hasn't been the full two week estimate yet.
Hanging out with Taylor on Sunday night - Tuesday afternoon was good! Mostly reading. Looking forward to seeing mom and Taylor again next Monday to celebrate mom's birthday a little early.
Firefox's latest update hosed the whole thing for me yesterday. Not just the browser - it was causing my computer to emergency restart itself because it was freezing up so bad. It took me three hours of fucking with it trying to troubleshoot, and eventually I did just revert to the previous version. The clean install of that is running at lightning speed, way better than it was before. As nice as that is, I'm back to being afraid to update things.
That also did not help with how behind I am on things here. I've gotten caught up on posts from my weekend off, but my inbox just fills more and more, ha. I also have a bunch of reviews to write, and am rapidly running out of month. It'll probably be a while, but I'll get caught up! Eventually!

3 hours of troubleshooting is insane and stressful. Sorry that happened. Computers and software need to just behave

Usually no news is good news when it comes to melanomas.
Congratulations to your dad, that sounds very satisfying. I don't suppose you can get him to phone up the insurance for you. It's really hard that you have to do everything for yourself when you're the patient.
