I donated blood again yesterday. It was a great experience, but I ended up disappointed. My last donation took 4 minutes, 45 seconds. Yesterday's donation? A 5:03. What went wrong? I thought I was going to PR for sure. I drank a lot of water. I held a warm squeezy device. Did the mental game get to me??
Kidding aside, it really was a great donation. I usually start to get a little paranoid in the last 30 seconds of the donation - thinking that i feel dizzy or that my arm feels funny. But yesterday I felt great the entire time. Maybe I'm just getting used to it.
And as always, the cookies were delightful. The chips were crisp and delicious. I had an extra treat yesterday - hot chocolate. Which really hit the spot on a -5 degree day.
And the best part? I'm helping save lives. Yeah, I pretty much rock.

Good job Miss,
And to your question a few days ago, yes I did get that shirt in 1999. I actually received because I organized a blood drive where I worked which resulted in 80 donors.
