I donated blood yesterday. Did I mention this? I had a few extra minutes after picking Eve up from school and I saw they were doing a blood drive right then and there, so on impulse I decided to donate blood. It ended up being a much bigger process than I was anticipating and my “few minutes” turned into almost an hour and a half! Despite the long duration, it was a pretty pleasant experience. Eve was with me, mask on her head, and everyone was super friendly with her. The high school students loved her, some guy brought her a box of crayons and paper, the doc helping me was super nice to her, and Eve was a star! She was sweet and behaved and friendly and just plain adorable. At one point the doctor said she was a perfect child and asked if she was always so perfect. I said, “Yes, except when she isn’t.” :) But she was. Like the picture she drew? Please ignore my poor spelling of prehistoric names.<\/p>\n

After I was done with the blood draw we sat down for the required 15 minutes of sitting down and ate a snack. Eve had cookies, I had fruit. Ok, I shared her cookies! :) While we were hanging out they offered Eve a weird blood drop toy, which she declined, and they offered me Red Cross Red nail polish. Heck yeah. You like? Please ignore my poor pedi skills. It was a 2 minute job while dinner was cooking.<\/p>\n
