Update.
We both started the new school year in March. This means new co-teachers, new desks, new classes, vice principles, schedules etc. I've been spending a lot of my time writing lesson plans and getting to know the new staffers. This includes obligatory dinners with the other teachers after school. These usually involve sitting on the floor and eating grilled meats and drinking soju. For those of us with bad backs, it can be less than great to spend a 3 hour meal on the floor, but why complain? It's free food.
To top off the business of the new school year, Brendan decided to slip in the shower and tear his ACL in the beginning of March. This has slightly complicated life as he is hobbling around on crutches and has to go to an orthopedic specialist once a week. On a side note, one more vote for a single payer health care system here. Crazy, I know, but I live in a Democratic country with a single payer system and... it works! Brendan visited a top Orthopedic Specialist without an appointment, was seen within 20 minutes, x-rayed, diagnosed, treated and written a prescription within an hour. Cost? $5.00. Considering our friendly neighbor to the North, I don't think that this country is in any hurry to go Socialist. Not a political statement, just personal experience.
Anyway, he's probably going to get surgery in the near future to repair his ACL and another torn ligament in his knee.
The weather here might FINALLY be turning a bit warmer. We've topped out at around 55 degrees so for, but 60 is projected for Sunday. Hopefully, I will be experiencing that wonderful weather at a baseball game. Baseball is big here. Like REALLY big.
Tomorrow we're going to the opening of a new restaurant down the street called Georgia Wing. Free food! Yippee! Wings, Cheese steaks and an assortment of other American foods, my mouth waters at the thought. Or perhaps my mouth waters because Brendan is making me a taco salad.
Hope that everyone is doing well.
