sanitylapseFTL: Yay! I'm caught up on my friends list! And it's only ... 4am.
FTW: I donated blood for the first time today! And it was only my fourth or fifth try!
I have a high pulse rate, and the blood donation people (it's 4am, I'm having trouble withe names and spelling and coordination) won't accept ypu if you have a HR above one-oh-something. The woman getting me registered took me through some breathing exercises andt got it to slow down. It was still too high for their parameters. She said, "Y'know, what, I think that's normal for you," and fudged it by 3 beats, qualifying me. They've got a pint of blood, I did fine (other than squeezing the stress-ball too hard and making my fingers go numb) and now all I have to do is go back to bed!
