Back In Business, or, The Things I Do For Cookies

Well, today's platelet donation went swimmingly.

The nurse found my vein on the first try. Blood flowed (in both directions) with minimal beeping. The actual donation time (time attached to the machine as opposed to filling out paperwork and pre-donation testing) took barely an hour. I had my skull-themed pointy stick at the ready and had everything so under control the assistant phlebotomist took a nap in the couch next to mine (to the nurse's annoyance).

My reward: my four gallon pin and a really bright yellow all-purpose multi-pocketed tote bag/carryall.

And two cookies.

Just because.
