Keeping Up Appearances
Several seats were open at the bar and I sat next to an elderly lady. "Don’t forget Michelle’s dinner," I thought.
“How do you do?” the lady asked.
“Pretty well. Just getting home from work. How are you?”
“I’m well, thanks. Where do you work?”
“I work as a counselor,” I said. I was a peer counselor but I didn’t want to disclose my diagnosis.
“What’s your focus?”
“Psychotic disorders.”
“I feel so bad for those poor people,” she said as she looked at her glass.
“Oh, I dunno, you’d be surprised. Some of them do better than you think.”
