Today someone I love was accused of a major theft and seriously dishonorable behavior. None of it was true and I was able to establish that in a letter that will be sent to the accuser. But I'm having a time getting rid of my angry. This is the first time I've ever been so wound up I feel like words are insufficient and I *must* punch someone in the face. The offending human is on the west coast so there will be no punching and I will get over it. But wow, it's a trip to be this mad.
