Well, it's been a while. I didn't realize so much time has gone by. I see I've had some visitors, thanks for stopping by. Things between Hubby and I are going fairly well.
Unfortunately, the company he works for was bought by a Canadian company. They are closing the financial department, so Hubby got notice that he is being laid off as of 5/31. This brings so many things into play. He has interviewed and is negotiating for a job at another local company. Big problem is that they don't offer health insurance. No problem, right? Just go to the Health Marketplace, the Affordable Care Act will make it easy and affordable to keep him covered in case he has more heart issues. Except Congress's idea of what is affordable and mine are very, very different. The lowest cost one we could find is $600 a month with a $3000 deductible!!! That's approx. 1/5 of our income just for his insurance! How the hell is that affordable??? Add in that this new job's salary is $13000 less than he currently earns.
I'm so tired of being strong, I want desperately for someone else to take over. There has been so much stress in my life for the last 5 years or so, it never seems to stop. I want to run so bad. I want to have no responsibilities, There seems no where I can just let the tears out, no place I can just fall apart.
At least my insurance is easy to switch. I had to take some paperwork to Social Security today, my Medicare will start up as of May 1. I have found several different plans that will be from $0 to $50 above the $104 monthly Medicare premium. I was in and out of the Social Security office in about 1/2 hour with everything settled. I had a really bad panic attack while I was there, but I managed to get through it.
Ah, well, I need to get busy with some more errands, Goddess, I pray things settle down, I'm really not sure how I am standing up under all this pressure, I really need things to settle down soon.
