The Name of the Rose

The other morning, ma chère épouse and I wrote what I called our "boogeyman list". The list of issues that scare us the most during my transition. Here is the list in no particular order:

  • Spouse Time
  • Family Time
  • Health Insurance (This is probably the scariest monster under the bed!)
  • Mortgage
  • Bills (Utilities, Student Loans, Auto Loan, Credit Cards)
  • School (The Things hafta learn.)
  • Church
  • Spouse Time
  • Loss of Salary
  • Increase of Debt (Career Training is not cheap!)
  • Did I mention Spouse Time?

The list is not comprehensive, not by a long shot. My idea was that if we at least name our worries, we have a better chance of communicating what is keeping us awake at night.
