It's been a hard day. I spent much of it on the phone with various people from Vista Outdoor Inc.'s HR department, voicing various complaints about their policy to not let domestic partners share an employee's health coverage.

The last call of the day was with the HR rep that used to be the director of HR for the previous company.

She and I had a very long talk and kind of vented about the situation. At the end of the day, it didn't change anything, but at least I have the satisfaction of knowing my complaints were heard verbatim by the person at the head of making decisions about benefits for the company -- so at least I know I've done all I can do at this point.

Now I guess I'll be determining what our next steps will be. Kelly's new job offers insurance thankfully -- and seems like it might last for a long while, so maybe that's the answer-- just let the insurance end when it does.

I'm emotionally exhausted, and it's only half way through the week. But at least the weekend looks exciting. A celebration of glowy things and visit to friends in Port Orchard may be just what I need to recharge a bit. ♥️
