I survived the blood drive! Such a cool feeling to know you're saving a life. I had my little reaction, but the phlebotomist explained to me that it's not an anxiety or flight or flight thing - it's actually your body thinking it's going into shock because it's losing blood. Some people get it, some don't. He said he'd donated 25 times and had it only 3 of the times. I proudly wore my little blue armband and the sticker that said "Be nice to me, I gave blood today". :)
I'm exhausted and heading off to bed... hopefully I can get a good night's sleep and finally not feel sleepy tomorrow!
Good night!
