I leave on Thanksgiving morning, or as they call it in Sweden, torsdag (Thursday); I’ll catch an early train to Denmark and a flight from Copenhagen to Boston. I have an interview at the Swedish embassy for my residence permit next week and I’m hoping that it won’t take too long to get approved. I’m running low on time with my tourist visa here in Sweden and only have a few weeks left before I need to depart for 3 months (if things take a while to get approved).
This week is about getting things in place for leaving. I dropped Susanna’s car off for service this morning. Tomorrow I’m planning on going to the workshop to wrap things up for a while. I’ll be dropping my car off with Dan and Charlotte on Wednesday and probably leave Hoagie out there at that time. I still need to pack; I won’t be bringing a lot back with me, so it shouldn’t take too long.
I took Hoagie on a bus ride to Söder (South Växjö) this afternoon to get some outside time. We walked around Bokhultet nature reserve for a while until we were both cold and then took the bus back. The cold will take a while to get used to.
