I really prefer it when OP's post again and ask politely for replies, rather than go for the passive aggressive approach. Most threads get way more reads than replies, there is nothing unusual about 18 and 0.
But on the larger issue, it seems that your T is doing that thing that the "common people" do, which is making over-interpretations about your behavior and, consequently, being wrong. How many times have you seen people post "it's been 2 hours and my T hasn't emailed me back. She must hate me and be planning to terminate me." It seems to me that your T did this same thing, assuming that since she didn't see your notepad, you weren't bringing in your notes, and then making an interpretation as to why you didn't do it, when in fact you did. Kind of like the T version of the economist who predicts the economy will take a serious downturn, then has egg on his or her face when things actually improve. She was wrong.
Seems to me that the larger question is about whether or not you need to have a larger conversation with her about what she said. Maybe she "feels" the interpretation that you feel threatened in T (do you feel threatened in T?) even though she got the behavior linked to it wrong. Maybe it was just the only concrete thing she could point to that justified her feeling that you are feeling wary of her or T (maybe that's just another way of saying, she feels that you don't trust her), or that you're guarded. Maybe that's the conversation that would be useful for you to have with her, if you find it upsetting that she thinks you don't trust her.
