Give Give Give

I had a perfect day planned out for myself...I was going to drink alot of coffee (I succeeded in that thanks to Magan who brought me a steaming hot white chocolate mocha this morning, oh how I love her so!) and then I was going to just eat a little something for lunch so that tonight, when I went to the bar for my Pre-Friday celebration, I could drink less/get drunk more.

Well, then the freakin Red Cross calls me today, for the umteenthmillion time this month, and asks if I can please donate today, they are running low for the holidays. Well, fuck me running. Look lady, I have a very important schedule full of very important things that selfishly only include me and you want me to go and save some lives or something?!?

So now I am eating a Subway and laying off the caffeine (as specifically instructed by Ms. Red Cross Lady - how did she know?!)

You may THINK that giving a pint of blood would have really fun effects if you go and drink right afterwards, but it doesn't. I ran that test earlier this year. I am even quite sure I blogged about it.

By the way, I jest about all of this...I really do think it is important to give blood. I am O- so I can give to everyone. This past month my grandfather had open heart surgery and had to receive many units of blood, as he was having a very tough time clotting. When I visited him in the ICU I looked up and saw that he was receiving O-...I couldn't help but think of the person that gave that blood and thank them for helping MY grandfather out.

So give blood, it is important...and you get cookies afterwards!!! YAY!
