If anyone wants to check out my specific situation, there is a link to my thread in my sig.
But my question here is, I've been in Plan B since the end of July. W's Birthday is the middle of this month. Should I do anything at all? At least acknowledge it with a card?

Plan B is no contact at all. So you need to stay dark. I completely ignored my WH's birthday.

I know that is not what you want to hear.

Are you doing things that are pleasant for yourself?

Well, it's not so much about what I want to hear... I want to hear the truth and the best possible course of action that will bring about the greatest chance of bringing her home.
I'm not looking for an excuse to contact her.
I just want to make sure I do things right.

Yes, I am doing things that make me happy.
Even if it's only temporary happiness <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

The best way to bring her home is to stay dark. It usually takes several months. So go on with your life and make it a nice one. She will probably show up when you least expect it.
