I don't know why I get the pre visa renewal jitters every year

 
 
Was sorting through my paperwork for visa renewal which I intended to do later this week. 
Then Monday, 11 am I decided "WHY NOT TODAY !" 

Went to the bank to get the statement and yearly printout. Monday at noon is not a good time to do banking unless you want to wait for a long time. 

Needed to copy my bankbook and discovered all the copy shops operating a year ago were no longer in operation. For a while I was a nervous wreck.  

Arrived at the immigration office shortly before 2 pm, was all done minutes after 2 pm. The whole process about 10 minutes.

I don't know why I always get so nervous days before the renewal, I've been doing this paperwork for the past 19 years.

Still don't understand why some documents are required every year.  Some documents I scanned 19 years ago and resubmit copies every year.  Seems a waste of paper

Could be the last cold spell of the season

Longrange forecasts are scientific guessing games bases on patterns and history

Weather Alert Extreme cool "MAYBE"

The windy conditions yesterday made me expect a major change in the weather.

Forecasters differ about how cold it will get,

tend to agree it's the last cold spell for the season 

TMD forecasts the coldest overnight temperatures

Turned on my bedroom heater at 3:30 am

Some facebook posts claim temperatures of 9C this morning, apparently not at my house
