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 …

They Had a Blood Drive Without Me?
My church, Calvary Bible Church, Burbank, https://www.calvarybiblechurch.org/ hosted a blood drive today. Actually, I did know about it. And when they first announced it on email, I volunteered to help, but they already had enough staff. I checked it out …
