I think the problem isn't that she doesn't want to get petted or something, she just doesn't know I'm home.
A few hours ago, she walked upstairs, jumped on my lap again, slept like a baby for an hour (including snoring, meowing, moving legs, like she always does when she's sleeping very deep). She just doesn't hear me, so she doesn't know I'm around.
She still makes noises when she sees me, like she always does. When she sees me, she makes a small noise to let me know she's there. Really useful at night when the lights are off. I always pet her when she makes the noise.
This makes me emotional - hope you can both adapt soon and behaviour gets back to normal.
