give a gallon of blood

Another appointment, June 4 10:15.
Donation done! 5 more pints to go,

Blood drive was cancelled. Go figure. Will try again.

Made an appointment for May 24 to donate at a blood drive.

I can’t donate again until at least February because I went to Honduras and apparently that means my blood might not be safe. The next time I donate I’ll be at a half gallon.

The only way the red cross can come up with enough blood is for the few people who give blood at all to do so in serial fashion. I have donated three units (pints) so far, so I have five to go.
