I was on my way to meet with a friend about keeping a goat at his house. On my way, I saw a sign at the LDS church that indicated that they were doing a blood drive. I vowed to check in on my way back and give blood if they had some way I could do it with Daphne.
The signs reminded me as I came back that I had vowed to stop by, so I worked up some courage and I really did stop by.
They had childcare, so I was able to take an hour of my day and give blood. The blood was slow in coming. Everyone else was clocking in at 5 minutes or less, and I took almost 12 to give all my blood. I suppose that it wasn't important. I hope that someone will be able to use the blood.
Give blood, save a life. It is a civic duty if you are a healthy person and it can literally save lives.
P.S. This is backdated. Written in the last hours of last night on my way back from a little trip.
