Compassionately intolerant

::gloom and fail::

Despite being sick all last night...headache, vomiting, acid like whoa...I psyched myself up and made it to the blood drive with my buddy. (bless him aLOT)

I didn't think I made any noise with the finger poke, but apparently I did, as people came rushing over.

FAIL. Low Iron.

I could not believe I said it, but I asked them to do it again on the other hand.

Still low. Less than 10.5...when it needs to be above 12.1g/dL.

I'm going to pound the prune juice and raisins and try again next week.

Now, I'm mad.

Any tips on upping iron?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Not spinach!

I'm sorry you were foiled.

Cooking in cast iron pans is supposed to help.

I couldn't give blood for years because I was in vaccine studies but before that I was denied several times by the Red Cross for low iron. Evidently their standards are crazy high.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

bonny, I am SO proud of you for trying! That is something to remember.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I'm sorry, bonny. I get that often when I go it as well. It still counts as you faced your fear and were ready to do it! Plus you are already thinking of trying again! Go you!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

OK, I tried going into the office and getting work done. Not so much. Combination of too much pain and not enough motivation to work through it. I've really got no looming deadlines and nothing urgent to do, and I can't bring myself to power through something that could easily wait until tomorrow or Monday.

Hey! Can folks who are helpful with job negotiations pop over into Natter to weigh in on our correspondence with the New Orleans company that just offered Tom a job?!!??!?

OOO! I'm not popping into Natter (sorry, not enough time to read Bitches AND Natter), but tons of congrats on the job offer! What ever the negotiation needs are, I hope they all work out.

Bonny, I am so proud of you! You faced fears, asked to do it again, and looking to improve your iron count so you can do it AGAIN! YOU ROCK! In honor of that, and as designated cheerleader, I now attempt to sing "Iron Man"
