You know, GM, no - not since this whole rigmarole began have I asked her for a minute of her scheduled time with him. Based on the inflexibility I've received over holidays and even his birthday, I do not think such requests would be received well. TOTALLY speculative on my part - and I am kind of in a bad mood about what happened, so my objectivity in analysis is probably compromised a bit at the moment.

Thank you for validating. I didn't feel as though I did or said anything wrong. For sure nothing to warrant the quippy response that I received.

She has said that she is having a hard time dealing with anything outside of her normal routine right now, so I think even the slightest inference of stress that hits her radar is noticed. If it's something tied to me, it's a flaming arrow lodging itself in her living room wall.

The sad part it, I really have been sensitive to this ^^^^ in most everything I do.
