695mL

Donating again

Left arm, yellow ring, blue 5

Brought my own ring again

Whatever

It’s been pretty fine this morning

There was some traffic

But it wasn’t bad

& the wait here

Was probably about 10 minutes

Though it was a little annoying

Because their check-in procedure

Is so inconsistent, but whatever

I’m here

With not too much trouble

So I guess I can’t really complain

…

They’re putting iodine on right now

Getting ready to prick me

So I can start bleeding for them

& they can milk my plasma

And now it just went in

At 8:18

It was much nicer than last time

That burned for about 45s after it when in

This needle isn’t necessarily comfortable

But at least it’s a discomfort I expect

And as a side note

Since I’m only 148 lbs today

I only have to donate 695mL today

The lowest I’ve ever had to donate
