Today, almost OK, then not

Today, M had her physical therapy eval and first appointment. Our plan, set last night, had been to meet at a coffee shop afterward. Well, she didn't call me, and I ran late to a doctor's appt near the coffee shop -- and found her in parking lot there -- waiting to make a quick connection. That was at 2:20p. My appt was with a nurse-practictioner, so both of us assumed it would be brief. M was going to run to a store and come back (and call, I thought) and we would go to coffee after. I honestly thought I'd be done with the medical appt by 3:00 at the latest. I had a 4:00 appt (with my T, who M HATES). But, I thought there was plenty of time to have a little companion time, as she desired.....

Well, the appt ran quite late, and M didn't call, AND she didn't hear my txt messages come in to keep her posted -- I texted twice.... of course, that's the phone's fault that she didn't hear the alert, etc.... -- and she sat in the doctor's parking lot, again, for nearly an hour -- eventually stewing and being peeved with me. When she DID realize I had a 4:00 and couldn't be at her beck and call, she was really out of sorts.....

Of course, all this was MY FAULT.... I CLEARLY DID THIS ON PURPOSE TO HER.....

She had sat there in the dr's office parking lot wanting me to drive her home, due to her hand hurting and the roads being slippery. Didn't call me. Didn't text me. Just sat there cold, stewing, and wishing.... But, it was my fault, clearly.

When I got home after my T appt, at about 5:30p, she was pretty pissy. Unloaded a LOT of greivances.... and wouldn't let up until I got thoroughly frustrated. But, once again, as over the weekend, I managed to deal with it without getting angry. Frustrated. But not angry.

So, she's feeling cold (physically) and took a bath and has gone to bed.... more or less....

My job, now, is to leave her be, mostly.... but still care.... etc, etc, etc....
