So when I have a moment - there's always something needing to be done, or sometimes I just need to find quiet time away from people, so that my mind can rest, and clear. So for there to be someone trying to impose demands on my personal time - well - this just doesn't work very well for me.

Skipping the part about feeling angry inside, I'd tell her exactly what you wrote from the "With other people..." sentence going forward. It's the truth, well and simply put. Either she gets it and backs off or, if not and she tries to re-organize your day for you, you smile a little, give a little shrug and say, "Sorry, not today. Thanks for asking though."
