GAL tomorrow is board game night. Might play a game called Munchkin, which I was told I need to try.
Have fun! It's not a very deep game, but it's fun the first couple times through the cards. Enjoy.

Im not really sure what was confusing. You had a 'fight' about money (especially joint money) and she used probably a decent amount to buy and install something for the house. Im not sure she was really asking permission since it was already done, but more just apprising you of what happened since youre going to see it on the statement at some point. I wouldnt read any more into it than that.

I disagree. You gave an impression that you care a LOT about money just Saturday.....

I think this is you projecting onto her. Do you feel needled? baited? guilty? I think shes just reporting a fact that broke your....rhythm. Accept it for what it is, reply, and move on.

I'm asking only because I tend to be very naive about interpersonal interactions, and this is a useful arena for learning how to look at things more carefully.
I dont see how this is bad? Unless she was screaming at you in all caps or adding tons of snide comments or something. But what you wrote sounded like she just sent you the facts and you got yourself into a tizzy about it. Are you expecting...more? something different?
