Well, today was blood donation day, and I think the fates were working against me--but I prevailed! Dinner ran late, and I raced out the door to make it to the church by 6:30. The lady asked me three times if I was a female, had I always been a female, so I had to wonder how bad I looked or how many people actually have come in posing as a female that they have to ask that question!!!
After taking my temperature, she said I had a slight fever so I had to wait ten minutes for someone else to retake it...and I was fine. Then they pricked my finger and said my iron was too low so I had to wait ten minutes for someone else to try on my other hand...and I was fine. At this point I was starting to believe that if I did give blood, I was going to faint or something. Good intentions won out and I saved my three lives...finally.
I recalled why I quit reading every night with Jason...it's exhausting! He jumps and rolls and squirms and fidgets...it's no wonder he has trouble remembering what he reads. We are slowly making our way through Flushed, though, and he's starting to really get into it.
It is amazing how motivating this list of goals is...I feel good about myself and my days are so productive! It forces me to follow through on the run I really didn't want to take today but felt so great when it was done...the foods I didn't want to log into My Fitness Pal but did and used it to adjust my meals for tomorrow...the games of words with friends that I'm stuck on but know I will feel so victorious when I hit that triple word play!
No new goals for me today...I'm getting a little stumped, so I'm open to suggestions! I'm off to play some words and read The Fountainhead until I can't keep my eyes open a second longer :)
