preparing to renew my thai retirement visa.

I had this shock come over me yesterday. when I woke up, I happen to look at my passport and realized that I have to renew my retirement visa next week. now, you are probably thinking that this is no big deal. but as it is... next week, 2 of the 5 weekdays are thai holidays.

I have a window of just 2 days to process my thai retirement visa. ..will there be lines of people next week having to go to thai immigration like me?

let's hope not.

things I did today to get prepared for getting the thai retirement visa so far include..
1) getting a haircut,
2) gather up all my paperwork needed to process the visa.
3) print out the map for reaching the location of the new thai immigration.
4) get new photos.

also put together some stuff for my rookie friend, luke, who is coming in tomorrow night. or rather later today at midnight. maps, guides, etc.

in between the above tasks, I was able to shop for some groceries, and clean up my apartment.

yes, it was one busy day for me.

I got everything done at around 5pm. on my way home, I bumped into dirk bonapare. he's off to hangout at the parking lot thereabouts.

I went home and took a 3 hour powernap.

woke up at about 10pm, called up luke skywalker who had just checked in for his flight.. (he's on the plane now.) spoke to him for maybe 5 minutes. played the role of cheerleader. got him all excited. quote, "be prepared for the time of your life." hehehe.

anyway, it's time once again for some beauty sleep.
