peppymint's Journal, 12 April 2012

Just got back from donating some good old red blood cells. I'm feeling surprisingly energized, which is usually the opposite of how I feel after donating.. I will say though, I got a good laugh when they gave me a sticker that said "Be nice to me! I gave blood today!" ... because I'm typically a cranky b*%^# afterwards :D

Thanks to all my buddies who left some suggestions on my rather personal journal yesterday! I really appreciate the help and thought. I'll definitely be exploring my options.

No working out today :( Nurse's orders after giving blood. BUT I will be going to check out another apartment! We're seeing one tonight and THREE on Sunday! My roommate and I have high hopes for 2 of the ones we'll be checking out on Sunday.. fingers crossed!

The boyfriend hasn't heard a definite answer about the Baltimore job, but it's looking better and better... but he got a call yesterday and a different company wants to fly him out to L.A. for an interview in two weeks! Crazy! We had a looooong talk about it last night, and if he's offered both the Baltimore and the LA job, he'd take the Baltimore one since they're basically the same work, and we'd be able to stay closer to each other. He even brought up making a plan for a year or two down the road when we've been away from each other so long..... AHH!

What a cute sticker =) I'm guessing you guys didn't end up going with the apartment that needed new carpet. Good luck finding your apartment tonight & Sunday. I would write down the pros and cons of each that I visited to compare them later. I have a terrible memory so I'd have to write it down lol Sounds like your boyfriend is pretty legit! haha It is good to keep your options open. I bet you'd rather him get the job closer..I would! Let us know what happens :)

The apartment with the ugly carpet fell through.. I called the landlady about the possibility of changing it (it was a HIDEOUS green color absolutely covered with stains) and she sounded so offended that I even asked to change it! She claimed it was brand new for the current tennants and its a perfect could carpet. I call BS. So my roommate and I walked away from that one. OH WELL! Better fish in the sea somewhere.

Sounds like she clearly lied so probably a good thing she won't be your future landlord.

if that's new- I'd hate to see what the landlords home looks like. Actually I'd love to see it! hahaha I'm secretly extremely curious to know how people live. When I walk my dog-I love seeing lights on with no window treatments and I can get a good look. lol...I'm not a stalker or peeping tom though!

donating blood makes me feel happy. but this last time i was so sluggish afterwards for a few days. not normal for me. i think i'm waiting until after my race in June to let them take another stab at me.

I race my mom for who can donate blood the fastest - I did it just the other day too, makes me feel good to do it :) The nurse afterwards tried to convince me to eat a cookie, but I abstained (and then had one yesterday anyways) oh well. Apartment searching is fun - hope you're enjoying it - I love to imagine the possibilities of each place I live in, and plan out all the *fabulous* parties (that never end up happening).

I like doing it too.. It feels like you're doing something good :) A kid in my high school donated a whole pint in under 5 minutes. The nurses said it was the fastest they've ever seen! And ah yes... don't we all wish we could have fabulous parties every weekend... with wine.. and cheese.... lots of wine and cheese..

holy cow! under 5 is amazing. Last time I got my pint done in 6minutes. I was happy and feeling competitive.

This most recent time was 5:33, though I feel like before that it was closer to 5:15. I was also happy to have my pulse under 60 - for some reason that stat makes me happy too. :P
