Taboo Topics

For the most part, I am doing great.  The meds are ok.  Side effects are minimal.  But I hit a stumbling block yesterday and then again today.

Joe came home from Germany, fresh with information about fellow workers.  He shared how this person was building their dream home and this one was preparing for the dream retirement home in another state.  Really he was just chatting, catching up.  But I lost it-both conversations.  I finally told him, "I can't hear about other people (our age) getting to build their dream homes and preparing for retirement.  Not now."  It was kind of weird reaction.  Not sure he totally understood.

Hit out of left field.  Not my usual soft spot either.
