as usual... i'm a lazy slob and i didn't read the other responses. sorry. :/
i don't know about your T and your relationship with her... but i always have the option of "no" with mine. i can just say that i do not want to talk about something and he knows me well enough to know when to back off.
in this case she is going to kinda have to say *something* but you could head her off with a voicemail. Just leave her a message saying she doesn't need to return your call... then say what you just said about it being her time, etc.. and that you understood it would need to be addressed but you can't do it now... tell her you are too overwhelmed. Ask if she would be ok with talking about it another time.
i don't know if that will work.. i don't think one email is such a big deal, but you are right about "her time." Being a T she needs her time outside of work. It has to be hard to do. i think that is why my T takes so many short holidays. i think he is recharging. He is the sort that reads letters outside of session, etc. He puts a lot into it. i would imagine that will be her only real concern.
it sucks knowing you've stepped in it though eh?
