It felt good to do my small part to help someone in desperate need. Besides, I figure if Jesus shed his blood for me, the least I can do is share a pint of mine.

There Will Be Blood
So I had a new experience today. After work, Becky and I donated blood at the American Red Cross. She is a blood drive veteran, but it was a first for me.

OMG! I so cannot do that! My office even gives us free days off if we donate blood. (Our owner's wife is a Red Cross Director in Charlotte.) I just cannot do it. I almost died during the IV insertion of the tonsillectomy I had last summer. No one is taking my blood. I'll do anything else charitable but I can't do that. My veins are too small.
I wish we had a similar program, but we don't. The Army seems to have its own internal blood drives among the troops to meet their blood needs so civilian stiffs like me aren't required.
A girl was donating that night who had her veins collapse. She wasn't doing too well. Definitely a little scary to see. But, drink plenty of fluid before you go and you should be fine!
Way to go!!! Thanks for saving a life!
