Journaling: Had lunch with a girlfriend today and told her what's been going on (she's only the 2nd friend I have told). She was dumbfounded, and seemed to think I was handling things well. She agreed with trying to just maintain status quo at this point with the holidays approaching to keep things normal for the kids. Didn't go into detail about the DBing, but she was supportive generally and seemed to understand where I was coming from as she has young kids and a demanding job (we work at the same place), too. It's nice to have some support both on-line and in real life!
Have a head cold today, but feeling a little better attitude-wise.
