Before I say how my week's going, I have to say that it's nice to know that one's best girlfriend is good at that job. From listening, to practical suggestions (both real and goofy), to support, to making me laugh, to volunteering (not in reality, of course) to push people off cliffs if necessary to protect you in revenge. Sort of the Buffy "shovel speech" for all situations. Heh.

This week? In a place that's really important to me, someone attacked me in writing. Telling outright lies and expecting to be believed by a variety of people in charge. I know I have support, but I don't know what will happen in the end. It's hard to reconcile what I know to be true with someone insisting loudly that I'm not a good person. I don't deal well with that sort of attack. Although, I'm not sure anyone should be expected to! But PTSD doesn't help any.

And now I have to deal with a week of a family visit and holiday and birthday gatherings, starting tomorrow. This is ridiculous timing. I get to keep this all inside, as I cannot share any of this with them right now for many reasons, and seem happy and content so as not to stress them out or have them worry about things they can't control.

I have my child's birthday party this weekend, which is fun, and music rehearsals, in which I can lose myself for a bit. Those will definitely help. And maybe some fanfic writing, if my muse hasn't gone and hidden herself away in a dark cave somewhere to whimper.

Don't give the person whp attacked you the satisfaction of putting a dent in your holiday. People suck, and are incredibly stupid and hurtful. But we know what a wonderful person you are, and anyone foolish enough to attack you should be prepared to face the consequences. Just hold firm to the knowledge that you haven't done anything to be ashamed of, and karma will get this person in the end. The road won't be easy, but we're going to be here right beside you. So eat as much turkey on Thanksgiving day as you can, take a hot bath when you can, and try not to let your family drive you nuts. Easier said than done, I know.
Good luck to you, and keep your head up.
