In her cell

Poor M. Took herself off to a motel during these first couple days of my folks' visit, and now she's feeling exiled.

She called this a.m. @ 5ish and left a VM offering to run me to work "just to be nice". I didn't have a chance to call her before she called me at about 9:45a. I told her I had a meeting @ 10a, and she got a little snippy, "Well, that's convenient" or some such nonsense. Anyway, it didn't get too out of hand, but it was a little contentious.

As a result, she then sent me a couple of negative text mails.... BFD.

My day ended up being really busy with meetings and connections, but just to be "conciliatory" myself, I phoned her just after 4:00 p to see where she was / what doing and to maybe get a light bite and a beer or something. Entirely friendly and civl. I had to leave VM, thought, as she didn't answer.

Predictably, she did a return VM about 15 min later, instead of calling me back. I had started out of town, but just to do what I could to be friendly and conciliatory, I called. her again. Again, I found her to have a bit of an attitude. I didn't get too pissy, myself.... but it IS irritating.

She's in a motel, recently remodelled, but from her telling, her room is small and "has NO window". So, she came to describe it as a cell, "which is fitting" says she.

Her attitude aside, I happened to call her sister, and I mentioned that M had said there were no windows in the room , and sis said, "Well, that's not quite true. There is a small windew that overlooks the pool....

Whataver, Guess we'll see the reults when we do....
