That’s nuts. My goal is to get an entire blood donation outfit. Jacket, tshirt, hat, socks, and pants at a minimum. All that’s left are the pants!

Red cross blood truck was setting up in our auditorium at my building at work yesterday. I asked the guy if they were doing walk-ins but they were all booked for the day. So no stab for me.

Donated yesterday, hemoglobin was at 13.5 (12.5 required for female), all went smoothly and finished just past the 5 minute mark.

It was my 61st donation. Almost up to 8 gallons!

In the chair getting tapped now.

One improvement this time at my donation center: no more finger stick. They have a gadget to do that now that doesn’t require blood.
