Leaving the Netherlands. Need to file a US tax extension which is pain. My partner got the "ghosted at the border" issue resolved. An HR person made a mistake but it got fixed. We can move forward with relocation in Canada. That was an anxiety producing 5 days!
Sad that the Netherlands was not for us. Housing crisis + academic burnout + just not fitting in + no job = move. I am recording my bike rides with a go pro knock off to remember the lovely biking infrastructure and nature. As well as the insanity of biking rush hour.
I did help our friends move from the US to down the street. They are a gay couple and finally feel safe here. That means alot to me as there are no better people I know than them and they deserve peace and happiness.
