@bug, jp787 - that's just it. For example, it is a healthy boundary to set NC with OP. But, for example, I would add that it has to be done by 2:00pm, or XYZ happens, even if it's not really reasonable to expect it. Almost as a little extra dig or "punishment" because I'm mad. I don't like that about me, and I want to be different. I really mean that. Beyond OM, I still need to work on me.
Good, but didn't you - in effect - do that by cancelling your reservation? Or more appropriately, TELLING her you cancelled the reservations?
Set the boundary, then shut up about it. Just enforce it when necessary, politely and calmly.
