knit knit knit!

Stitch and Bitch is back on!  I am so happy that, even though I left the boring facebook group, I was invited to join the new (and secret!) stitch and bitch one!  Now if only I can convince my husband to give me 40kr for some pecan pie.   Cafe Fedora's is amazing!

Bummer :(

Got some rather disappointing news today.  Looks like I'm going to have to wait at least another six months before my residence permit is approved.  That means no work, no language class, no health care until then. My church is having a free weekly language class, which should help but I'm not expecting much from it, aside from learning liturgical Norwegian.
And then, in my malaise, quit a facebook group that had been my only social outlet here.  It might have been foolish, but I can only read about strangers' kids and their fear of vaccines causing autism (ugh.)  I did a four course graduate certificate program focusing on autism when I worked with preschoolers on the spectrum so people expounding on pseudoscience and lies makes me pretty angry.

But, I started a new scarf for winter, cleaned up the apartment, and made a smashing dinner.

Little victories... :/

Memories!

My husband has been very into mountain biking lately and a video he watched played this song.  Took me back to high school, when I was all mod revival and wore a bubble flip everyday.
