Again.

Dang, when I catch a cold here in Korea, its usually a nasty one. I had one back in February and it took me off my feet for a couple of days. Luckily, the worst day occurred on a holiday and I was able to spend time at home resting without missing work.

This week, I’ve got the same thing. A nasty cold – this one has my throat in a hammer lock and can’t even talk without sounding like Mel Torme. Again, though, I’m lucky enough for it to hit me on a holiday so I’m not skipping out on the job. The folks I work for a really great and I don’t want to leave them without a teacher. Getting a sub is not an option for them.

They are so good to me, in fact, that they’re helping set up some private lessons. I start this Saturday teaching a group of four girls in another tony part of town. Its only 2 hours a week, but at $40/hr its decent money. They want to do several sessions a week during summer vacation so I should be able to save some serious coinage.
I just hope I kick this cold before Saturday. Right now I don’t even have the energy to go take pictures of my cool new set of $5 bikes. Instead, I’ll post a recent picture of me and my pup, SaTang.  She’s a hoot!
