Dad's doing lots better, yeah! Insurance... not so much. The assessment of the damage was $12K, but I had a $5K cap on the coverage that I didn't know about and I can't raise it for a year, so I'm still catching up with the several months' worth of paychecks I spent before I got them in order to get the sewage out and the place disinfected enough to be habitable, and if it floods again this spring I'm pretty well screwed. So I do a fair amount of making-stuff-for-eBay, and fanfic has to take a back seat to that on account of how fanfic doesn't produce bill-paying income. XD
