Today marks Adam's first day back as a permanent employee once again, instead of as a contractor. (Well, as permanent as anything is in the video game industry!) It is even back on his old team!

I'm exceedingly happy for him. A solid job that he loves with a company that he enjoys - and now with proper benefits, instead of the uncertainty of contract work.

I'm also, selfishly, happy for me. Fear of what was going to happen to our (Affordable Care Act) insurance has been stressing me quite a bit. After all, I have multiple chronic pre-existing conditions, I am on some very expensive medications that have no cheaper alternatives, I'm 50, and I've had cancer in the past. It wasn't going to be pretty and it has had me in tears more times than I can count.

Yes, I'm still stressed at the state of our country, and VERY worried for many friends of mine, but at least there's one less stress on the pile, and for that I am grateful.
