Overhead discussion yesterday that made me sad/angry

For  me, this whole "Journey" thing gets on my ......well can't say that  anymore, can I?  In my mind, a journey  is something and somewhere exciting and different. Like the Great Wall of China, Outer  Mongolia, the Serengeti or somesuch. It in no way brings to mind chemo  clinics, barbaric mutilation, permanent side effects  involving wheeled walking frames  and the like. However, I realise that this is my own personal reaction the the use of the word and that the people using it probably mean well.
