So.. today I went and gave blood.For the first time, ever. I was kinda nervous, but pulled through. Haven't fainted yet :) They asked me some dumb questions, and I had to laugh. The nurse just glared at me...But I tell ya, it was great. Someone kept coming up to me to give me something or other.. Juice, piece of pizza, juice, a snack, more juice... and all for free. My dad said that they day my sister turns 16 we're dining out. At the blood donor clinic. haha. And the lady that took my blood was nice.. made me laugh, kept me relaxed. For the most part. Oh, and she told me that tomorrow I was supposed to drink, like, double what I would normally. Great! I'm at work, drinking twice as much as I normally do, which means I have to take twice as much water with me to work, on my bike, and then I have to actually think about stopping and getting something to drink, and wait, it gets better. No bathroom. This should be fun. Never knew giving blood would be so much work :P
But I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
aaannd... I get a card.... awesomeee!!
