The amount of product we returned with sets the next run time for at least the given few days. But Glenn is determined to make runs a daily thing, claiming that even back at the farm he and Maggie would go out.
So it was the decision of the council and I finalized the vote. Hershel came and talked to me about how 'when we get settled, then we can start to calm down,' and over and over again do I have to remind myself. We're not settled, but what is settling to me is how tempted it is to lay down my head onto my desk. Instead I shook my head, waking myself up as I took another slug of water.
That's how I'm keeping myself up at the moment, that and eating a small snack.
Put Addie to bed a while ago, and now it's been the given five days with Dixon and I'm starting to feel more on edge than before, when Glenn claimed not to worry.
Resting my head down onto my engulfing hands did I release a groan, but my body was so against me moving that I didn't even care that I was resting my head. It was easier to plan, to envision. To see the little horse stable being finished instead of it being just the given wall structure. Or the chicken coop. The farm is the only thing I can see progressing and it having no difficulty.
A yawn escaped my lips only sealing the deal, what can a little nap really do to me? I'll wake up feeling so much better....
"Rory..." I tenses my eyes, almost allowing myself to smile at the thought of him coming back. Fixing my head further into the crook of my elbow, trying to move away from the sound. More than happy with my position, but the rusty chuckle had me smirk almost instantly.
"Rory?" I hummed, but the small movement of my body did I see the figure holding me somewhat up.
"I must be really...Really sleep deprived if I'm seeing you." I motioned, rising my head trying to rub my eyes fully.
But leaning back into my chair did I still find myself had at getting fully awake, until a pinch set it in place.
"Hey! What was that for?" I sarcastically exclaimed, and he just sat before me at the table with his arms crossed. His bow strictly over his shoulder as he didn't leave it at the door this time.
"It's a 'pinch me I'm dreamin'' sort of thin', ain't it?" I smirked, my hand holding onto his as interlocked it so tightly. "I'm glad your back."
"Sorry it took so long, got back two hours ago. Wanted to cut up that deer when nobodies awake, ain't really all that pretty." I smiled at the thought, a cookout.
Now that's going to be exciting, a hosting event.
"You got a deer?"
"Two. And a hell of lotta squirrels. Thinkin' me and Addie can do 'em tomorrow...Y-ya can come join too if ya find some time." Rolling my eyes did I gesture to the papers in front of me. Lists of ideas, things we need, necessities verses wants.
