A week in the life, pt 7
... in which I neglect the blog.
maandag
y husband and son received their BSNs from the gemeente already.
It's barely been 5 days.
How the fuck do I still not have mine????
Time to reach out to gemeente Den Haag yet again and find out why I haven't received anything regarding mine. I did receive a package welcoming me to The Hague last week that was sent to the Den Haag address, which was very weird.
dinsdag
Not much happened today except I'm stressed about this BSN delay. Work is busy because I moved my Personal Project Day for next Friday to this Friday because I'll be working at IFA Berlin. Short week with lots to do to prepare for both IFA and Community Day. 🤪
I keep failing to take my ADHD medications which is the real reason why work feels so crazy. Gonna make a real effort this week to take those. Succeeded at that today. 💪🏻
woensdag
Today I chatted with someone from gemeente Den Haag who is very confused why I haven't received my BSN after 11 weeks now. She said that if I was able to register properly with Enschede, I should have my BSN. 🙃 She's escalated it to the Department of Registration to figure out wtf happened and if they can send me my citizen number.
If they can't, I'll need to pay €17.50 to gemeente Enschede to have them give me my BSN. 🥲
I did find out that our stuff from the US will finally be here next week! 🙌🏻 But because of oil prices I need to pay a fuel surcharge. 🙃 Luckily that and the fees to ship it from Rotterdam to Enschede are all that's left to pay - no customs fees for the stuff I've packed thanks to the Dutch customs rules. 👌🏻
Took a walk to an Austrian steakhouse Chris found that's nearby, about a 20 minute walk to get there. Will be much better when we get bikes. The walk back home we went by a couple farms that had honor system produce stands. We didn't have any euro change on us otherwise we might have come home with the hazelnuts one of the stands had available. 😄
donderdag
Today was very warm for the first time in several weeks. 😭
Future Missy here
I don't remember anything else from this week, which was nearly two months ago at this point.
So we'll just cut it here and carry on like I didn't just neglect this because work and travel got crazy....
