Reports from the doctor are sounding positive. Or, at least, trending in a positive direction for a change after a rough, scary six+ months.

On the plus side, stumbling across a bug and learning that it's already been reported goes a little ways towards tempering my #impostersyndrome (or at least vindicating a small portion of my sanity).
