Not much to report but I wanted to check in. I was able to finish the lion share of work on my patio. I just need to tidy up and arrange for the pressure cleaning. I ordered the chaise lounges last night and they should be delivered today. I'm pretty excited.

I FaceTimed with STBX last night. I was in the car when she called. She asked if I had a new haircut and I just laughed and said "No, just combed it." The kids were in the pool with the inlaws so I talked with her more than usual. Mainly small talk with the children occasionally running up to say hello. I was friendly and upbeat. When STBX first turned the phone towards her, we kind of just stared at each other for a little bit. I said that it was good to see her because I normally just only see the kids.

At the end of the call, we said our goodbyes and she turned the phone towards her again. Again, we looked at each other for a few moments. It seemed like she was content to do this and was hesitant to end call. After a few more moments of this, I ended the call.

A few hours later, she texted to let me know a favorite comedian would be on late night television. I didn't reply.

I know these interactions are so minor but it's important to maximize impact. I felt the FaceTime interaction was good, maybe a little pursuit on my part. Then, she sent the TM and I didn't reply, a little distancing.

Who knows? Another day in the books.
