mmm... made a segue yesterday, stitching together two parts of part 2.
Buffista Fic: It Could Be Plot Bunnies
Where the Buffistas let their fanfic creative juices flow. May contain erotica.
Mmm-- Elena.
Mmm.... Ple.
Loves me my Bitches.
mmm ... teppy. How's the weird pains today, most lucious one?
Not as bad, thanks to the wonders of ibuprofen. I've been exhausted beyond belief for 2 days now, though. Could it be from giving blood and then continuing to work out hard the rest of the week?
(That was a serious question, because I know PLENTY of people who work out and don't slack off for illness or blood donation.)
Are you used to giving blood? I was always told to take it easy for a couple of hours after giving blood.
I'm used to giving blood. And I worked out BEFORE I gave blood (ate a big lunch after working out and before donating). And then I took it easy for the rest of the night, but went back to working out hard the next 2 days. And now I'm shredded. Feh.
As it's been years since I've either given blood or worked out really hard, I'm not sure how they relate.
Blood volume drops by a pint when you donate -- I *think* this is what, 1/6 of total blood volume in the body? -- and working out is something that causes the heart to work harder anyway, and combine that with being low a pint...
and I think I just answered my own question about why I'm exhausted.
I got this feedback on "Graveyard Shift," and wanted to share with my lovely betas (Connie, Elena, s.a., Trudy -- alphabetical order):
"Tell your betas they do an excellent job, there is nothing wrong with it."
So there you are. You do an excellent job. It's not just *my* opinion!
Well, of course.
