Day 4

Okay, where to begin with what happened today? I'm writing this at 11:56pm Texas time. Let's see if I can finish it before midnight!

Still not much to report on the health front. Nobody has called back about getting care here, and that is fine, I have accepted that I am going home at this point, and so has my wife.

We've spent most of today doing errands that need to get done before we leave. We've filled in and printed forms that we need for the marriage visa, and we've got the $420 money order done. I was going to pay for that on my credit card, but they do not accept credit, so now my wife is just as broke as I am. Good time to move countries for 6 months, no?

She's appearing more broken up about all of this than I am. She's never been away from home for so long before, whilst I am quite used to coming and going from my home country. It's a little hard to balance my wish for haste with my feelings of pity for her, but the tickets are all booked up now so it's just a case of waiting until Monday night to fly back.

Apart from printing the forms and saying bye to a few people, it's been a pretty relaxing day. We played games for a while, and whilst the situation is always on my mind, it's good to pretend to forget about it for a few hours.

Oh, also, I think I might have got some poison oak on my skin, as my right foot has been really itchy. My wife gave me some allergy stuff and some cream, and it stopped itching. However, it also made me very drowsy.

Hence why I didn't finish this post before midnight. Dang. Oh well.

More updates to come.. when I have stuff to update!
