Overwhelmed

[abstraction]
They attacked.
With sticks and stones and King running at my side, we charged at the wolves. On hindsight, that was a stupid thing to do but boys and dogs aren't known for their smarts. The Ulu ulu wolves retreated, melting away into the herd which was now panicking to the smells of a fresh kill. Bleating, they split into scattered groups. King and I now have a situation on our hands.
I left the herding to him and ran to my pony and I rode her back to the shed. There, I took out Uncle Wally's rifle and returned to the fields with best speed. The devious creatures were no where in sight. We spent the rest of the morning rounding up the sheep and drove them back to the pens.
When I returned to the house, Uncle Wally gave me a new assignment to fix the old tractor. His faith in me was warming and I had no wish to dissapoint him. However, I was never good at machines and had no idea where to start. Finding out what was wrong with it was an adventure in itself. At this point, I was summoned to the shed by Aunt Sally.
"Have you forgotten something?" she asked. I looked around and replied, "Did I?” "Yes. Let's wait for Uncle Wally to come before I give the two of you a piece of my mind. Boys simply can't keep anything in their heads."
Feeling annoyed, I left her side to look around, ignoring her demands to know where I thought I was going. I finally discovered the problem and closed the cabinet for the rifle and left without speaking to her.
I went back to fixing the tractor and King found me at a loss of what to do. My cousin was busy at another task and I felt bad that I had to interrupt him so many times. Finally, I started it up and found nothing wrong with it. I found Uncle Wally and reported my work to me, requesting that he test the tractor tomorrow. He gave me a smile and thanked me. Later, as I was lying in bed, I thought of my failures in the day and for the first time, had doubts.

Anastasia gave me a treat of 3 sushis, 1 handroll, breans and 1 large bento set. It was nice and the quantity was beyond me (14 Apr).

Met with Roadster for supper and had another round of food and talks. Yawnz.

Too much food, too little sleep.
