What better season to donate blood then right before Halloween!! So that is exactly what I did today after work. Apparently I am a big sissy!! I was sweating profusely. The nurse dude had to wipe down the mat under my arm before we finished because the sweat running down my arm had started to pool on the mat. He said I should get more used to it the more often I donate. But he said given my strong reaction that donating platelets probably wouldn't be the best idea for me just yet. But I did it and am feeling fine now!! I plan on going in every 8 weeks to donate.
It was way easy to set up an appointment. Go to https://www.membersforlife.org/lewisclark/schedule.php and leave your info and they will call you to set up your appointment.
When I got home this evening Brad had a fire going in our fire pit out back. So we sat out there for a while enjoying the evening air. Evie LOVES fire!!! She was constantly trying to bite the flames. It is a hoot to watch!
Well it is early to bed for us tonight. Myles leaves first thing tomorrow for Hawaii.

Thank you for donating blood. It truly is a hair raising experience, so I appreciate that you perserviered.
Your house should be very quiet with Myles gone. Maybe next time you could sneak Evie into the cargo bay and let Hawaii experience the whirl wind you call a dog. The islands would never be the same.
Derick wants a firepit so bad! Maybe he can come hang out with Brad one night and get his fill so we don't have to buy one! Way to go donating blood, I pass out, it is just too freaky for me!
