A new day

Yesterday was a tough day to be out on the highways making the deliveries. I was driving in Rhode Island and they got the rain down there, and it came down in buckets. I had to make five deliveries yesterday, and after each one, I would jump back into the truck to start the drying process again. I would get  soaking wet and then try to get dry from the trucks heat and defroster, five times over.  I will say that for me personally, it was the wettest day of the year so far.

 Now throw in a little lot of traffic delays because of the weather and all of a sudden, the lure of the “Pub with a Pint” was starting to sound very good. Being able to sit there and relax after a tough day on the highway just seemed like perfect sense.  That was the rational that was coming from the little one who likes to sit on my left shoulder and offer up plenty of suggestions.  

When I did finish up for the day and finally parked the truck, the good one who sits on my right shoulder won out on the argument. You made it through the day so go straight home and relax were those words that I remember. There was also a little fatigue involved after a long day.  Home it was, and a little dinner with spaghetti and meatballs, followed by some desert which was a good night’s sleep.

Rested and charged up again, Today, I hope for a smooth run and a little sunshine, as I head up to the North Country.
