The first day jitters are no joke.

I can hardly sit still, hardly breathe right.

Part of me thinks this is all a ruse, like I'm about to be ambushed and grilled regarding the incident.

It's a paranoid notion.

Guilt is a hell of a thing.

Sitting in a comfortable but too quiet waiting room, I think about the four dogs I have at home.

Rosie, Gracie, Bear, and Roxy.

I hope they're doing okay without me, even though I've only been gone for a few hours.

The new dog sitter seems nice enough.

She'll take care of them.

I almost didn't accept this job because of my dogs, but in the end, civic responsibility and not a little bit of guilt won out.
