For a lighter post than last time: I beat Xenoblade Chronicles 2 last night. It ultimately came to about 150 hours of playtime, which is honestly much longer than I've taken to finish any game before. (Maybe not more than I've ever played any game due to some older titles I've replayed countless times over the years, but this is definitely the longest I've spent trying to just reach the ending of any one game.) On the one hand, it's a huge relief because I finally feel like I can move on to something else. On the other, I've packed an awful lot of time into this game, and I loved it so much, so now that it's over I just feel a little empty.

Today, I went to the doctor for my routine follow-up and tests to make sure I'm still cancer free. The good news is I'm three years out and still good thus far. But man, did I call it. The nature of my having testicular cancer of all things really is just going to follow me for the rest of my life. To explain, after the appointment itself (which was quick and painless), I needed to go get an x-ray and CT scan as per usual. The receptionist spent an awfully long time trying to figure out why the system wasn't accepting my prescription for it though. She talks to one of the other folks behind the desk, and they too don't know. I couldn't wager
