I am keeping my PMA up and I am not going to get in down. No way, no how.
Weekend activities - W and I took D3 to gymnastics class (this is standard protocol). We then go get lunch usually. W wanted to go to this summer Art fest downtown (her initiative) and I said yes. It was raining when I got there and we were going to have to park away from the restaurant and walk a ways in the rain. We had an umbrella and everything. But I knew it was going to be a pain with D3 to walk in the rain so I said we should not do that and instead we headed out of town to a quieter place to eat. W appreciated me making that decision ( Masculine points : 1 - made quick decision). We had a good time and then headed back to the art fair. Rain had stopped. This going to art fair is a baby step - W does not usually like all of us to be in public together (cant give appearance of family). W also asked me for suggestions on color etc for sweaters she was buying for D3 from this native American vendor. I indicated my choices (I have talent for painting and do charcoal sketches and have always given my W opinions on colors etc that she respects). She seemed exhausted at the end of it though. D3 was acting up towards the end (it was humid and warm and D3 was getting to nap time). I dont know what the exhaustion is about - the stress of being out in public as "family" (small town, we met many people we knew). Or handling D3, who is quite energetic. Anyway, when we got to her place she asked me to come up and help put D3 to bed - very unusual but she was tired (I will count it as another baby step though).
Sunday morning -started training for my marathon. I am training with two of my graduate students. 9 mile run- very comfortable. I can do a half-marathon easy without training (major PMA booster).
On Sunday, she came over to pick up D3 and she was supposed to stay for a half-hour. She ended up staying for two hours and then asked if I would like to go out for dinner. We went to our favorite Sushi place. I did not pursue however. Did make small talk, complimented her on her dress and her recent shopping adventures. Pleasant evening. Towards the end D3 asked if I could go with them to the new house (we call my place "old house" and hers "new house", just so as not to use the more painful "daddy's place" and "mommy's place"). I side-stepped the question and said I had work to do (NO PRESSURE).
A pleasant weekend and W seemed to enjoy it as well. This dynamic does not seem to be one where D is going to be filed this week, but who the heck knows what subliminal messages my W is getting from Venus?!
In any case, strangely enough, since I have been acting more masculine and keeping my energy and PMA up, my W has been in an extremely flirty, good mood as well. In fact, these accidental touching events have really gotten ludicrous at this point. I mean, do we HAVE to get out hand interlocked when we are handing off D3 to each other. I can picture Jerry Seinfeld saying "And what is with that hand-locking? Enough already". Well, here's to a week of more hand-locking.....and no D papers?

The 3 laws of DBing:
1. PMA is critical to DBing.
2. Since drop in WAW's PMA leads to drop in LBS's PMA and vice-versa detachment is critical.
3. Validate to raise WAW's PMA and GAL to raise LBS's.
