Arrived home very early Wednesday morning and have been struggling to get unpacked, caught up with work, and over both my jet lag and some flu/fever/congestion I picked up while in Los Angeles. I’ll work on catching up on my blog entries this weekend, but in the meantime, here’s an audio blog entry:

The adventures of an expat American who moved to Bangkok for his husband.

Welcome home and good luck unpacking and with the jetlag.
Welcome home! Sorry to hear about the flu.
Welcome home…Clorox bleach pens…zip lock bags….hah, you must have made a shopping spree at COSTCO!!! Anyways, get well soon and we can’t wait to see the rest of your trip photos (that including Tawn’s too).
welcome home! hope you feel better soon.it’s been awhile since i’ve visited your blog, but it’s good to see it’s just as yummy and chock full of picture goodness as ever 🙂
Its wonderful to hear your voice Chris. I am glad you are home. It’s funny that you caught a virus while you were in LA, and have gone back to Bangkok with the flu. Usually its the other way around it seems; travel outside the US of A and return home with the crud of the dust from the developing countries. I have been a subject of that every time I travel outside the country. Any way feel good soon. It was so good to see some pictures of the family and friends while you were here; but I am thirsty for more. Rest, plenty of fluids and don’t skip meals. Now say ‘ ok mom’. lol.
Glad your back home. Hope you had a good time. I can’t imagine how much things you can’t get there. I have a long list of things to get when I go back two states away. The bleach pens, if you get low, I’d save the used up ones and soak them in a glass of bleach. They probably just soak up the bleach in them like a sponge. Just a thought.
Welcome home! Get well soon.
ah, it’s now all over save the PHD (post-holiday depression)
Glad that you made it home safely. We had a great time visiting with you. Thank you for coming! We always enjoy your visits and look forward to seeing both you and Tawn in Dec. Sorry to hear that you caught a virus. I hope that you feel better soon!
Thanks a lot Chris…
@ElusiveWords – @stevew918 – @curry69curry – @Mabel – @blue_beau – Thanks, I’m already on the mend and already unpacked, too!
@ZSA_MD – Thanks, Zakiah. Thought I’d try to do things differently this time and catch something in the “exotic” destination of Los Angeles.
@socaltransplant – The thing is, the bleach pens have that gel-like consistency which is really useful. Not sure if that will work if I just try to absorb more bleach into them. Worth a shot, though.
@AppsScraps – Oh, that’s true. There is a sense of blue going on. Thank goodness I arrived mid-week and have made it to the weekend.
@oldpartner – We’re looking forward to December.
@sagicaprio – Do you write a lot of poetry? Seems like you have a talent for it.
ha ha, I love poetry but most of my poems are just so depressed lol but I do love it
I’m glad you’re back home safe & sound. It’s aways hard to leave friends even though it’s nice to be home, but how wonderful that you got to reconnect with so many people you love. 🙂
