Mercury in retrograde

After an annoying disagreement with my husband this morning, I sat down at my computer with my coffee and bagel and learned that starting today, January 28 and lasting until February 19, Mercury is in retrograde. What this means to me is that no matter how hard I try to communicate, it will turn into a miscommunication - and quite possibly, an argument. Does it make it more difficult for me, a Gemini, being ruled by Mercury? Normally, I would blow it off as a cop-out but this morning, before I even knew about it, Mercury had made itself nice and comfortable right in between my husband and I.

OY!
