> I don't understand {-DI'} working the way you've done here. I always took it to mean "as soon as", while I think you want it to say "after", for which I'd use {-ta'DI'}.

I think {-DI'} includes {-ta'DI'} in this case. {-ta'DI'} is a little
more emphatic about when, but I think both are accurate. And I wanted
