Should I initiate R talk?

[Arsene]

Thanks Denver and 25,

I assure you that I'm not trying to take a shortcut by not getting DR, and that I'm doing all that is in my power to try and get it. I hope to be able to order it this weekend and I plan on making it an express delivery. Believe me when I tell you that courier doesn't make it here. Half of what's been sent from my family in my country hasn't made it here. Besides, I don't have a credit card (or an address) and have to rely on friends for that, and I have but I'm at their mercy time-wise.

I know the situation isn't the best, with all of us living in boarding houses but right now, I'm doing my best to play the cards I've been dealt. This happened during a transition stage and I didn't chose the timing. I realise (and I think W is starting to) that this was probably the worst time for us to go through this and now, with me not having a job, our savings are vanishing quite rapidly and this country doesn't have a safety net.

BTW, D8 does have some of her toys with her here but the bulk of them are still in boxes. I understand what effect this has on her and that is why I thought of just getting a house, any house, right now. W thinks we should wait at least until the end of september, because of the money situation but also because of the chance we might have at taking over the boarding house where I am. I am a bit torn but overall, I agree with her as long as we can make D8's life a bit better til then. W has voluntarily made the commitment to try and be here more often and I guess we'll try this approach for now.

Believe me! I am getting the book!!!

So you don't think there is anything wrong with my actions of yesterday? I hope not. It felt mostly good. I've had the first good night of sleep (6 hours) since I got back and I still feel good this morning.

Thanks again.
