Blue Ring

Donating plasma today

Left arm, blue ring

Though, later than normal

Not too much later

It’s around 10:30 right now

When normally my appointments

Are scheduled at 8

Originally, it was set for 8 today, too

But I’ve been feeling a little uneasy

In my stomach – nausea

For the past couple of days

& especially this morning

Waking up around 2:22

With a little bit of a stomach flu

But after a few hours

I was able to get back to sleep

& woke up not feeling perfect

But better than in the middle of the night

So, though I had canceled

My previous appointment

That I had scheduled on Tuesday

I decided just to modify my appointment

On the app, and gave myself an extra hour

To rest, then another hour since

I still wasn’t quite ready

But now I’m here

Just poked

Now bleeding

Into the machine

That’s milking me
