Thanks for all the response and encouragement yesterday! I worked really hard to obtain a PMA and it paid off.

Journaling;

I had a slow day at work so I dipped out early to work remotely. STBX sent me a TM with a funny pic of S1 as I was driving home. I replied about an hour later with "uh oh lol." When I got home, I took a quick jog, laid out for a bit, made myself dinner, and headed out to Trivia Night. I had a good time with friends but was disappointed with our lowly 4th place result. There's always next week!

I was able to talk with the kids before I headed out. They didn't chat long because STBX took them out for ice cream and they were distracted. I joked with STBX that I was flattered they even said hi to me because it's hard to compete with ice cream. I was friendly and said goodbye. STBX did send out a couple of TMs with pictures of the kids throughout the evening. I didn't respond to these.

I took Mr. Bond's advice and had a friend snap a picture of me, which I posted to Instagram. I know STBX saw it because she "liked" it this morning.

It seems so basic but I think we all need reminding from time to time. The better your GAL is, the better your PMA and detachment is. GAL plans for tonight include a visit to a local art museum for an event AND check out a Rod Stewart impersonator afterwards. Should be interesting!
