It’s that Bloody Time Again
It’s time to work on my 16th gallon. And I broke my record. I bled out in 5:00! Previously, the fastest I ever made a donation was 6:18. The more relaxed you are and the better hydrated you are, the …
Bleeding With a Friend
Today was a rare conjunction when both me, The AFOL Husband, and the Mad Woman With a Box could give blood. So, we headed on down to the Woodland Hills American Red Cross to do so. We both got appointments …
15 Gallons!

Yesterday it was time to bleed. Not because of some blood-sucking vampire like on that night’s Svengoolie, but because it’s been eight weeks since my last blood donation. My schedule has been really tight lately. I had to give today …
It’s Time to Bleed
Every eight weeks I am eligible to donate blood. Yesterday’s donation brings me halfway to my 14th gallon. If I stay on schedule, I should get there by January of next year. My lifetime goal is to reach at least …
