I stayed in bed for ages just lying there thinking about the dream when I finally decided to get up and I could see the sun was starting to go down. So, I must have had a few hours' sleep that day.
I dragged myself out of bed and I walked downstairs and mom was home from work and was in the kitchen making dinner.
"Hi. I was going to wake you for dinner but I thought you needed the rest." She says watching me head for the coffee pot.
"No. I got a couple hours of sleep. Any more than that and I probably won't sleep tonight." I say.
"That's a good point." She says.
"Do you need a hand?" I asked, looking around at everything that she had scattered on the bench.
"Nope. It's almost done." She says.
"Where's Isaac?" I asked.
"Oh. It's just us tonight. Isaac is on patrol duty tonight
