Give blood

Delayed again. Eventually I need to get this one done. It should be easier after the first time, because then I know how it will affect me physically, won’t be as afraid mentally, etc.

Oh I do not give up, but I do not know when I’ll finally do this either. sigh

That’s the plan. I’ll tell my friend who volunteers to keep me to it! :)

The goal is now for January 2008… or the very tail end of December, if there’s a space. But I have a friend who volunteers at the clinic and I know she’s on for Saturday’s in January, so she’ll keep me to the plan, I’m sure!

I just realised that my last entry re: this goal was entitled “I WILL do this in 2007”. And it’s November 2007! Yikes! Well, let’s see what I can do about it!

This first-time would-be blood donor needs a plan… stay tuned!

I just have to remember to do it in a healthy patch. Hopefully I’ll be healthy much more of the time and it will be easier to remember! ;)

Until such time as I am told that I am simply not a candidate for this, I will have this as a goal.

My problem is – 10 years after I’m legally allowed to do it – that once I realised I wanted to do it, my health just isn’t so great. When it has been great, I find that I don’t think about it. :S grrr. And when it’s not so great, I can’t take the hit to my system. So that’s my sob story for this goal. But like I said, I won’t give up. I just have to remember when I’m feeling stronger to TRY IT! Maybe that’s something that 43 things will help me with! :)
