needles in my arm.

so there i was.  laying back with a tube in my arm again.  happily, (for once) it was fluid coming out of me and not going in.  i donated blood today.  somebody get this girl a gold star sticker.

after discovering that i have the rare rhesus negative non monkey awesome blood, i feel a sudden obligation to share the wealth.   much the way the incredibly wealthy find fun ways to donate their fortunes, i felt the need to become charitable with my superior genetics.  my like blooded constituents should think about joining the cause. 

i'm meant to have a run later this evening, and the nurse explained that i should partake in no strenuous activity.  ah, a relative term.  perhaps running ten miles to me is not as strenuous as it is to someone else, so i'm in the clear.  we mustn't go around donating pints of blood and then using that as an excuse to be lazy.

i did a quick ten last evening in my new running dress.  now that the running skirt fad has caught on, i've been forced to switch to a new indiscreet yet practical form of training attire.  for the meantime, i need a little nap.
