Vampires

I gave blood today. That's all. Bye!



No, not really... I will talk about the vampires a little.

I was quite nervous, even though it's not that bad and I have donated before, it just isn't that nice to have needles stuck in you. Ever. Unless you're into that kind of thing, which I'm not. On top of the nervousness I was going to have to miss up to two hours of work because I had booked an appointment at 9:30am.

[interlude: there are cleaners in the office vacuuming my cubicle. AAAARRG!!! How am I supposed ot concentrate?!?!]

So I looked up to see if I could try to be seen earlier but they didn't open until 9:30, so I just showed up 10min early to be sure I was seen first. It all went well. My blood and heart were very healthy, which is a nice surprise because I'm usually a bit weak in those departments. A little under healthy iron levels, a little low blood pressure, a little high resting heart rate etc. Anywhoo, got the tick of approval from the Vampires so that was nice!

I came away feeling a bit low, more tired than feint so not really anything to worry about. I also came away with an unusually large bruise on my finger from the prick blood test they do first. Strange that it should bruise, and it's been bothering me for most of the day while typing, washing my hands etc. Again, nothing to complain or worry about but weird. I also got a keyring with my blood group on it. yay!

So that really is all, not much more than the first sentence eh?
