I didn't wanna do it, I didn't wanna do it....

Just got back from giving blood today. I'm O+, so the vampires blood donor people love to see me. They called this time and asked me to come in - I've been going in on my own from time to time as I remembered, but the last time I gave blood, they blew the vein and I ended up with a small hematoma and some sort of weird reaction to the adhesive on the bandaid. The hematoma went away in a day or so, but the raised skin reaction around the puncture site lasted for two weeks. Understandably, giving blood on my own hasn't crossed my mind for a while now! But when the Red Cross called, I went ahead and made an appointment. I know they need lots of O, especially during the summer, so I went on.

I'm kind of tired now, but I know it was worth it. It's summer - go give blood yourself!
