I spoke too soon.

The cold gained some ground into my nose but gave up some of its hold on my voice. Not entirely, mind you. After 14 lessons, it isn't doing well, but I can make myself heard more or less. So the vacation's over.

That's good in a way. I was getting to like my time off, but as I taught today, I realized I really do like this work. Even the more challenging students. I just have to relax and let the progress happen at whatever rate it comes. Besides, one of my first graders brought me a big hunk of her birthday cake (enough for my entire family). Now what other job has benefits like that?
