It was an ordinary day. Finally!! For the past few days I had been rather drowsy and listless. Not enjoying myself much. And I was on vacation. I thought it was the cruise ship that was doing it to me. Then some one asked me if I had been to the ship's doctor to get medication for my queezey feeling. I already was taking Bonine, had a patch behind my ear, and wore a wrist bracelet. "Are you sure your not taking too much medication?" Carol said to me. I didn't
think so. This is the first cruise that we had ever taken. I had been deep sea fishing a few times and always got seasick,so I went to the doctor to get a prescription for something so I wouldn't get seasick on the cruise. He gave me a prescription for the patch behind the ear and told me that I will be just fine. Well, I wasn't taking any chances so I upped the medicines to make sure. Several times I was so drowsy that I wasn't quite sure where I was. Then Carol questioned me about how much I was taking. "Well, I guess I could stop with the Bonine, but I sure hope I don't feel sick," I told her. Then again, I couldn't feel much worse. Next day I felt better so I pulled the patch off from behind my ear. Hey, now I'm feeling much better and starting to enjoy the cruise. Wasn't long before the bracelet was left in the stateroom. I finally began to realize that fishing on a small boat off the Jersey shore and being on a megaton ship with stabilizers were two totally different things. I now had a chance to enjoy myself. And ... the endless amounts of food tasted much better. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
