### How about:
"I'm in the middle of considering some major changes in my life
*outside* of work, and now would not be a good time for me to
also entertain material changes here at work too. I remain
interested, motivated, and am pleased that I'm employed here,
but because of other (outside-of-work) things, now is not the
time to make a change."

In two weeks, you come and say:
"I've made some decisions, and I'm going to accomplish this
goal. Here's a map, I've got the address here written down --
would you mind a post card or two? -- and I sure hope I can
entertain that raise, and maybe that (due) promotion, upon my
return this fall."
