mixed feelings - an intensely boring diary entry

In conversation with Mark and Linda, I remarked "I have mixed feelings about that" with regard to something I now no longer remember. A work-related topic, an incident, etc. This remark about mixed feelings was uttered just after the waitress had brought our bill.

Perhaps she thought that I was saying I had mixed feelings about paying the bill. What is more likely, however, is that she understood my remark as belonging to another conversational context than paying the fucking bill.

I had no strong feelings about paying the bill, or my share of it.
