stormdogAfter all kind of stupid issues, we got our lease signed and sent. How do little things cause so many problems?
We're living on a street called Amsterdamsweg in Amstelween, a southwest suburb of Amsterdam. (There are a lot of things around there named after the Amstel River!) I love that we're in a one-bedroom apartment over a shop; mixed-use development is the way to go and I've always wanted to be in that kind of environment.
Google says it's a 34 minute bike ride to the middle of downtown Amsterdam. It'll be shorter than that for me because I ride faster than their assumed speed. I'm so excited to be able to just jump on my bike and go explore so many things! Once I'm settled in, I'll probably take a bike ride or two to Utrecht, or even out to the coast of the North Sea on the west side of the country; that's only an hour and a half!
It looks like I won't be able to get Danae on my insurance before we leave. I hadn't even thought about the fact that work would want a joint tax return (we file separately) or a marriage/civil union certificate (we do not have one because we never did anything official like that). She's going to get her prescriptions refilled at CostCo through a discount program to keep her until we're settled in in Amstelween.
Sadly, I can't simply get fresh prescription renewals before leaving because I am out of renewals. I also do not have a primary care doctor because the one I was seeing at Rush left the area. I've been putting it off, but I'm going to have to set up an intake appointment somewhere and see someone who's willing to renew my prescriptions so I can get a supply before leaving the country. I finally called Howard Brown today to make an intake appointment and found that all of their locations and they're call center are closed all of today. One less thing on my list to do today at least.
