home and happy

To anyone who may happen to come across this even though I am already home, I wanted to write about my transitioning back home to this wonderful nation, the United States of America.

I'm back. Back in the land of absorbent toilet paper and cold toilet seats. There are other things about this nation that are different, but those really stick out.

I have already eaten at Bojangles and Cosmic Cantina, which has satisfied my hunger for Southern fried chicken and burritos. I have yet to get chips and queso from Armadillo Grill and a burger from Elmo's, but all in good time. I did enjoy my mother's delicious sweet potato biscuits and ham last night as well as a whole lot of chocolate which was never Vietnam's strong suit.

The transition back in the sleep department has been fairly easy. I thought the jet lag was really going to get me, but I've been sleeping pretty normal hours. I get tired every once in the while in the early afternoon, but that could be due to my proficient napping skills.

All in all, I am glad to be home among family and old friends. They ground me and keep me sane.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season. Merry Christmas!
