Sporadic Update
Updates are as usual few and far between, but a lot of stuff has been going on. Yesterday evening we finally got home, after one week of driving, visiting Russian family and dragging Nina’s stuff back to Denmark. Nearly 4.000 km in car and probably something like 1.200 km by train.
The trip went without any major issues, except for having to completely unpack and repack the car at the Russian border. The size of the car and the amount of stuff we were dragging called for professional tetris-like skills when packing, but we did it.
In other news, I was tested for strep throat (group A streptococcus) at the doctor this morning, and it came out positive. After being on long-shot allergy pills the last week, it finally seems like we’re on to something. I’m now on penicillin, and happily awaiting a change from the last 2-3 months of sore throat and fever. Needless to say, I’m exhausted.
Papers for the family reunification (Nina’s residence permit) went through, and the next step is for me to provide the municipality with a 58.000 DKK (8.000 EUR) financial guarantee. This was prepared by the bank while we were in Russia, and was sent by mail today. Things are looking bright indeed.
