Monday, Bakersfield, CA

It's back to work today and I mean back to work. I had to wake Pat up and shoo him out of the bedroom so that I could start my workday at 6:15 CA time, that's 8:15 in Texas. My phone just wouldn't stop ringing. Worked 8 hours then just tried to de-stress.  Poor Blaze, Pat took him out for his morning walk and he stepped on a bee.  He wouldn't put his foot down until the end of the day. I think he was a little stressed (and in pain) too.  Didn't make it to the pool like I wanted but maybe tomorrow. Pat didn't do much of anything except try and stay out of my way. (grr!)
