Current T was unexpectedly ridiculously sweet yesterday -- first session post vacation.

Asked why I didn't contact her when she was away although she'd offered (I'd actually told her I wouldn't -- so not sure why she thought I would).

And, then rather unexpectedly asked as to how I was feeling about all things C-ville -- she'd remembered my expressing fears that stuff like this would start to happen more often right after the election. At that time I distinctly felt like she thought I was exaggerating and being paranoid -- so, I'd stopped talking to her about any of it. So, I guess this was really unexpected -- that at some level, she "got" what I'd been trying to say back then. I made my usual jokes about seeing the paraphernalia out in greater numbers these last few months and wondered if it was also my confirmation bias at work -- she said that it's not like people didn't hold such beliefs before the election but that they were much more willing to express it now.

Not a great surprise though -- I continued and still continue to be mad at her. The anger seems to exist on a separate plane and doesn't stop me from showing up though -- at least not yet. She didn't seem to believe me when I told her how angry I was because I didn't look it. Ugh. It's like we're stuck until I explode again and then she'll find it too much and then the cycle starts again.
