Is constant Live Z increase normal?

Hi guys,
My MK2S has been printing ABS like a champ but I noticed my Live Z constantly creeps up...er down. The worst it got was -2.2mm from a fully well calibrated state with initial live Z being about -0.35mm. No changes but printing 3 - 4 sessions in ABS each after cool-down and skyparking PINDA. Creep still happens.

My procedure now, forget cooldown, skyparking, praying to spaghettios, whatever. Auto Home, just start print, feeler gauge, ignore Z numbers. Absolutely perfect prints, every time. Just kind of inconvenient, as it is our honeymoon period, this is all very exciting but I can see a day when I find this annoying.

Can anyone give input?

Keywords, I thought search engines moved past this after AOL. Thanks man, I was wondering why I couldn't find that one. 😆
