No, Bond. She's a really nice lady and she loves D8, and D8 loves her. Both D8's grand mothers live far away so she enjoys spending time with the landlady. Usually, it's only for about an hour before bedtime because we both need to be out.
We have no family in this town, except for a distant relative of W and "baby-sitters" or daycare like we have in the west don't really exist around here. That's the main reason why we have always had a live-in maid in this country.
Yeah, I read the Stockdale Paradox and that is why I gave myself a more "realistic" timeline. Psychologically, I'm not sure how keeping track of days affects me but so far it has kept me from hoping for quick improvements to my sitch and has had a sobering effect as it is a constant reminder of how little I've done so far. I'm not hoping for this to be resolved by this or that date. Simply accepting that for the next two years, I've committed myself to being here trying to live the best life possible with my D8.
I'll go through it again though, thanks!
