Give blood regularly

for the day before Thanksgiving.

as a way to give in memory of those that died.

....I was denied for low iron. :( I’m usually borderline and they have to stick me twice, but this time I failed. I’ve started taking a multi-vitamin, but I’m not very consistent about it. Need to take it everyday for a month, then make an appt to try again. First week in Sept. then.

I gave a gift from the heart :) Got a long-sleeved Boston Bruins “bleed black & gold” shirt for my trouble. The last few times I’ve gotten a tshirt for giving blood, I’ve given it away. This one I’m keeping :)

Keeping up with this goal makes me very happy. I went on Friday and was given a long sleeve t-shirt for my trouble.

Next Friday after volunteering in my son’s classroom, scheduled it in a town right near lots of shopping, so I can give blood and get some Christmas shopping done.

Oh yeah, this will be my GALLON donation! Wahoo!

...I hadn’t. But just went back to look at all of my entries and I’ve given 7 pints since I started this goal. Next time I give I’ll be at the gallon mark! Wahoo!

Flew through the chairs and onto the table. Donated in record time and was out the door and home before 9. The sad part was, I was feeling really old…they had Oldies 103 on the radio and the 3 songs I heard while I donated were all from my high school/college days. Sigh. Oh well. Time to get over it and get on with my day.

7:30AM. Bleed and be done and on with the rest of my weekend.

Went this morning. Gave my blood, ate my cookies and was done. Early morning Sat appts are the best! Next opportunity to give is Sept 8.
