So I donated blood again today and it went SOOOOO well! Better than it's ever gone for me before! I bled quickly for a change- I am sooooooooooo proud!!! *beams*
I drank a whole can of iced tea and ate a PB&J before-hand. Then just before I was up I drank a tiny can of OJ and drank another while giving blood (which I usually do anyway). And I squeezed the little ball thingy constantly (repeatedly, but constantly). My monitor beeped twice but just one warning beep at a time (to signal it was slowing down) instead of enough to call the attendant over to readjust the line every minute like usual. And it went REALLY fast. Usually I take 20 minutes or more. This time was, like, 5. I am SOOOOOOO proud! And happy. I felt really, really bummed when they cut me off before I could give a whole bagful. So I'm so happy I could give the full amount this time. Plus my iron level rocked (they didn't even need to spin it) so definitely a good day where that's concerned.
I even bought a couple used books at the library while I was there to Bookcross with! So it was a very good day for that. Oh, plus I was able to tape one of my favorite episodes of Buffy this morning (the first Buffybot episode... I think it's possibly Spike's best episode. At least, it's in the top there. ANd I love the sympathetic-to-Spike!Xander moments *G* theirloveissohardtofindincanonunlessyouhaveagreatimagination)
All the happy is distracting me from the fact that I only have $1.70 in my bank account at the moment. But at least I don't have any more bills due until the last week of the month. And I've got 2 paycheeks coming to me before that which should more than cover it all.
