cooled off
I think the day of cooling off has helped me to cool off. I have a better idea now of what exactly to apologize for on my end. And my own anger at his anger has pretty much dissipated. I won't know whether he's had enough time to cool off until I get back to the house and see. There's no rush to return, I've got parking until 10:30pm and I've got food for two meals. I can leisurely clean up the condo. I may or may not be home in time for lunch. I can cook dinner.
Sometimes to preserve the peace at the house I have to put up with behavior I don't like, and apologize for behavior I feel is justified. I'm sure this is true on both sides. And it was a stressful week -- and so many weeks feel extra stressful because of Quarantine.
The social isolation is such, that I was talking with a friend yesterday about planning my 54th birthday next year, After the Vaccine, because there will be no 53rd birthday party next month. Maybe T will return the favor of preparing a nice birthday meal for me, but I'm not going to expect anything in particular from anybody.

OK, more specific apology made via text message. I've done what I can do from here. I'll see what I can do in person later today.
