Week 3: I did not see W much during the week. W appeared to attempt to pick up her PMA by shopping like crazy (sh is wont to do this for therapy). Weekend was pleasant. We did the usual Saturday gymnastics and hangout thing with D3. That was nice. W seems to be getting more comfortable around me. Physical space has shrunk enough that now contact is natural. One morning this week she came up and sat right next to me (zero space) and we both tried to act like it's no big deal. But I know for a fact that W was perturbed by it for a while. I kept my cool however. She tries to repeat the shrinkage of physical space move every time I am at her place to pick up D3. Sometimes I feel that she is doing it on purpose, sort of like willing herself to get comfortable. I take that as a positive. Father's day W, I and D3 went out to dinner (she paid) and then we took D3 to a playground and it was a nice evening. On the GAL front I played tennis this week and also have been running in training for Chicago marathon. On Sunday I ran 11 miles and feel confident I can do 15 miles at this point. I want to do an under-4-hour marathon this time. A modest goal but do-able. My PMA is up, with successes at work in the past couple of week also.
Summary:
May 22, 2005: Declaration of intent to D by W. Week 0: W out of town. I get PMA up. Week 1: W's PMA is up. Physical space shrinks a lot. Week 2: W's PMA is way down. Physical space expands. I maintain PMA and validate. Week 3: W gets PMA up by shopping. Physical space shrinks but not to Week 1 level. June 21, 2005: Still here, no sign that W is working on D. Still preparing for anything.

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.
