bloody donation!
i went to give blood today.
i usually drop by whenever i’m wearing a t-shirt and see if they have any openings for the day.
they’re usually all booked up and ask me if i want to schedule an appointment for the next day or week.
and i always say no.
so today when she told that they’re had spots available, i was shocked!
apparently it’s been a while since the last time i was there.
the circle bandaids that they put on your finger after they check your iron aren’t different colours anymore. they’re just normal bandaid colour.
boo for that.
my blood is basically black.
its kinda funny.
they had a bunch of blood paraphernalia to read.
The one that listed some traits associated to each blood type was funny. Mine was the opposite of me. it was like horoscopes. why do ppl believe those things anyway?
they had a “top 10 reasons why you should give blood list”. I couldn’t believe it when i read, “giving blood may temporarily reduce your weight”.
!!!
Is THAT what we have come to as a society?
donating blood to lower your weight by a couple pounds?
i was/am shocked and appalled.
so, the only thing i don’t like about donating blood is that once you do it they never leave you alone!!
whether its sending you junk mail telling you that you’re blood type is in high demand (um, which blood type ISNT in high demand?!) or calling you to ask you to make an appointment, they just don’t stop!
until you stop donating altogether. It takes a year or so, but eventually they stop calling…
I should email my mom and tell her that i donated. that way she’ll be prepared for all the phone calls.
