I need advice. I'd have to send an email to W. Usually, it would be pretty plain, but in such a sitch... I think it's self-explanatory. It's about school pics and insurance.

Hi,
Thanks for the pic of D6. I thought I had ordered the full package, with the small and medium ones, but I might have made a mistake. Are there any left?
Also, for D3 I hadn't ordered any [she sent me tons] but I could keep a few. Do you want the rest?
For the insurance, there seems to be only 300$ available for IC. Have you used it already? [I think her sessions are covered elsewhere] If not, would you mind putting in the claim if I bring you the receipt?
It seems to be a burdensome email full of requests and veiled criticism (you sent me the wrong pics! you'll have to deal with insurance forms for me). Is there a better way to say it or should I just drop it? None of these pictures and even the money are more important than R. I'd like to have the pics for friends and family. For the insurance, we've been exchanging about it for a while -- she brought me the paperwork last week.
Some context. Today, she said she formally applied to her former boss' job. I replied "You go girl!" (in English) to which she said "Just don't call me girl - it makes me feel weird". Anyone else cringed at "You go girl!"? It seemed like a plain idiom, an encouragement. I'm not even sure why she was offended, but I didn't ask. It's possible even she doesn't know.
Her response stung, because to me it suggests that she still doesn't care one bit about me, that she'll crack the whip on me at will. No good will at all for me.
