curia

I dispatched for a few hours this afternoon and then went on the road. I haven't felt good lately. Wicked bad allergies. A little depression creeping in but I fight that best I can. I ask myself who is in charge. Identify negativity and then don't feed it. Starve it to death by giving it no thought. Sometimes it works.
Somebody at work gave me some allergy medicine but didn't tell me it was the type that caused drowsiness and sometime around nine I started to feel it. It got worse and worserer and finally I had to pull over into a church parking lot and take a nap. It was only for about 45 minutes but man it was a really good deep sleep. By then it was almost midnight and I asked dispatcher Dave if I could rap it up for the evening and he obliged.
I only did 5 fares but 3 of them were long distance. Two Bostons and a Natick. One woman was from Phoenix but grew up in Chicago and I told her those are two of my favorite cities. Then there were 3 younger people from Germany going to the Hampton Inn. I like telling Germans that I'm mostly German myself and they always ask if I can speak the language. Wish I could.
Later a couple from Iceland heading to Boston. I never met so many damn Icelanders until this Summer. Its very strange. Oh well, who cares.
