Albertsons Monopoly and life

It's really stupid, but I look forward to the Albertsons Monopoly game every year. Albertsons is a grocery store chain here in the US that I'd never even heard of before moving to El Paso. (I previously lived too far north to have encountered them.)

Two years ago someone won the million dollar grand prize from the Alberstons location that we go to here in the Northeast.

Warning: The following is more American Health Care drama and has harsh language. Don't read if you don't want to.

So yesterday I was tired and didn't want to get into the latest health care drama.

While many of you know that I have severe issues with my biological mother, the fact is that she's still in my life because if I cut her out of my life, I'd be cutting my grandmother out of my life, and I was raised by and deeply love my grandmother. I also rely on my biological mother for health insurance. (I consider my grandmother to be more important than health insurance, though.)

Anyways.

I've been informed that there's a very good chance that I'm gonna end up losing my health insurance on my twenty-sixth birthday, even though my health insurance is supposed to be permanent because I'm disabled.

Lovely. As if struggling to get medical care wasn't hard enough even with my health insurance -- which is one of the absolute best health insurances in the country, mind you. The only way I could ever get it back is by working for the government.

So we're trying to make sure I don't lose it, but who fucking knows anymore.

There have been many reasons why B and I haven't gotten married despite being together for so long. But depending on what happens with my health insurance, we may finally end up getting married after over ten years together. Why? Because it's cheaper to get married and get a joint health insurance policy than trying to insure ourselves individually.

It's not that we don't love each other. Anyone who reads through these blips and sees how much he does to support me couldn't reasonably question our love for each other.

It's just that there's a lot of reasons, financial, legal, and personal, why we haven't gotten married yet.

This sure as hell was never the reason why I would ever want to get married, but hey, at least we actually love each other and we've been with each other through some of the hardest times of our lives, and so far through our entire adult lives.

We're not rushing into anything, and we haven't made any decisions about it yet. We've still got around six months to figure this mess out.
