18 more stinking days

18 more days until I begin my new adventure, and adventure it will be trying to stretch my pension to cover bills and groceries. I have one more major task to accomplish, buying my health coverage from the Affordable Care Marketplace. If only we'd managed to make single payer a reality, the process would be a lot less stressful. I'm hoping my low fixed income will result in a large subsidy, but I really have no idea of what to expect.
