Finding trouble

It slays me how she can find trouble when there's none to be found. M had a PT appt @ 3:30 today..... with a "plan" for us to meet after for a drink and a bite.... Normal, friendly stuff. I thought we had an entirely cordial time of it. Although, I felt a little lousy. Might be a relapse of the virus. Who knows.

Anyway, I wasn't hungry and didn't order anything to eat. Just hung with her. Thought it was OK. But, as we kissed goodbye for her to head home and me to head to my Monday evening activity, she remarked something about how "you still have time to go to the XXXXX" I said, "Not really planning on that". "Well, isn't that what you usually do on Monday nights before rehearsal?" "I don't know. I've gotten so I sort of knock around a little. Sometimes just a quick burger on the way. No particular plans...." Thought that was it. But, I DID take it as an unsettling warning sign.

But, not 5 minutes later, phone rings. It's M. "You know, you're really strange...." Then she went on to say she felt like she was imposing to get together with me. Bothering me. Interrupting my usual routine..... etc.... I corrected her on all counts, and told her sincerely that I had WANTED to get together, and that I had none of the feelings she was afraid of / accusing me of having, or whatever..... She also was grumbly about having to "ask about" any calls I'd had from MY son (whom she has issues with) and HER younger son (she heard the call I had with him last night, so I couldn't fathom the "offense".....

SOOOOO, NOW, I'm on my way to rehearsal, feeling trepidatious about what awaits at home. What bad humor she may be in by the time I am home. Etc. Not a pleasant picture. She SHOULD have called her sis or something to express the thoughts she did. I didn't do anything that warrants her negative feelings or displeasure.... But, there it is.

This comes after a relatively pleasant, quiet non-controversial weekend....

It also comes after I've begun serious correspondence with a possible landlady about sharing a house.... SOON.

We will see what transpires in the not too distant future.
