Unexpectedly worked late, and

Still at work, unexpected meeting at 7p + .... Phone from home rang 2X from 7:15 to 7:20. Unfortunately, I had not been able to call in advance, NOR could I interrupt the meeting I was in gracefully to call home....

So, I knew there'd be some troubled reaction.

Actually, so far, it's not been terrible. I called @ 7:30p, just as soon as I could. She started to get testy, but I just calmly said it couldn't be helped, and yes, I knew it was worrisome for me to be late ("Yeah, an hour later than I expected!!") and I was sorry. Anyway, she started to get testy, and then stopped herself short... That was a bit of a surprise.

When I got home, I got one interesting comment (see next message), and then lots of silent treatment. She's clearly not feeling well. Neither am I. I certainly intend to be careful how and what I say....
