The absolute, number 1 priority – paperwork – has been crossed off the list. Yay. I’ve moved and settled in and have a 15-minute commute again. Woot, free time. That leaves me with no. 2 on my original list – health. Ugh. I’m totally unfit, gaining weight and to make things even more interesting, suffer from mysterious joint aches. But now that I’ve dealt with my biggest worry, I can focus on my health properly again.
Yet again, I realize I should keep this in front of my eyes at all times. I keep forgetting and re-discovering these things.

My cherry tomato plants are getting ready to bloom!
I have two forest strawberries growing. I doubt they’ll ever get ripe in this weather, but hey, at least that means my artificial pollination technique got better. :)

I’m writing this about 2 weeks after the fact, but I needed some time to just breathe and settle down.
I’ve renounced my original citizenship and gained a new one. In the process, I’ve been without a citizenship or any valid form of identification (not to mention job, health insurance and similar things) for about a week. Brrr, scary feeling. There’d been a potential for some serious fsckups due to various paperwork deadlines coming up, but thanks to some very nice and helpful public administration workers (wow, they actually exist) it was all sorted before the catastrophe actually happened. Phew.
I’m now a citizen of the EU. No more waiting in lines at border crossings. Or getting called to the side for a more thorough search. I think I have a new phobia – borders and border officials!
So, that means the biggest part of my paperwork is sorted out. Anything else that comes up is insignificant in comparison. :P
