Friday: blood donation

 I gave blood today.  The donation went so, so much better than it has the last several months.  I did *actually* do a good job of drinking enough water, so I'm hoping that was the reason.  I've tried in the past donations to drink enough, but this time I drank even more.  We'll see in January if it goes well again.  

Anyway, I was a bit worried when they poked my finger for the iron test because the blood did not want to come out.  (If you recall, the last blood donation was barely eligible because we were having a hard time getting the blood to come out of me.)  Anyway, they got the needle in my arm easily and I finished in six minutes, which was record time. Woot woot!
