Later in the evening

Something very odd happened this evening–well, actually two odd things.

 Backthataway <————- there is an entry about me giving blood, Well, about an hour after I got home, I got a phone call asking if i would give again! I immediately thought that perhaps something had happened to the blood I just gave but, no, that wasn’t it. Apparently they were in need of more AB positive blood!  I had seen notices up all over the room asking donors to consider become what they called "double donors " but had thought nothing about it at that time.

Well, normally I would have said yes, but a couple of years ago, I gave a double amount of plasma, drove thirty minutes to the library and passed out there dramatically enough that I was in hospital for a couple of days. Apparently I had a sudden depletion of potassium and magnesium and after I had been rehydrated with these added, I was fine. Well, today I felt fine until I got home and then I felt a little dizzy. Five minutes resting made me feel normal but it made me a little wary of giving so soon. So, I politely declined, and I will give blood again on May 17th.

The other odd thing was that when I drove down to the library at about 6:15, I discovered they had changed their hours and closed at 6 rather than 7 on Thursdays. Now, I don’t know if the book club were still meeting at 7 pm or if I had the day wrong, but if they were meeting, they were meeting without me because I had to force myself down there anyway. So, we shall see.

I have just had a cup of Fred’s meat, vegetables and barley soup and very good it was, too!

QUOTATIONS: Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the

end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow".
