Mirej's Journal, 15 January 2010

Anyone who donates blood deserves to be thanked by us all. I have a serious problem with needles (I even fainted once when I had to get several shots at the same time for a boy scout excursion), and though I have donated blood, find it difficult to do on a regular basis. We both have to tighten up on the calories mirej. 

Glen... Unfortunately they have some very strict rules and every time he donates even tho he is a regular donor, he has to sit down with them for like 20mins to fill out a form that they read.. in Ontario you don't get paid to donate... so he is very brave and I am proud!!! I am chicken but hopefully the day comes when I give it a try! Info, I m scared that I will faint and I don't like needle either... thankfully I haven' had health issues in my life that require blood samples or going to hospital.. I will keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't change!! My calories.. another story.. I am better today! Every day is a new day! Have a nice Sunday all!!! 

good reminder Mimi, it,s been a long time I want to give my blood, but I don,t know how it works here...I have to figure that out soon. I don't mind needles, well, I don't like it but for a good cause I don't mind. Have a good one!
