I gave blood yesterday - my iron's back up to a decent level, which is good news. Normally, giving blood doesn't affect me very much at all - I may feel a tad light-headed if I do too much right after, but I'm fine other than that. Yesterday's donation knocked me on my ass. Felt relatively normal after having my coffee and cookies, went home, read on the couch for a bit, felt a little dizzy but not too bad. Got up to make dinner and suddenly had to sit down in the middle of the kitchen floor for fear of either fainting of tossing my cookies. I must have been there for a good 5-10 minutes before feeling stable enough to make my way back to the couch. I ended up going to bed just before 7. When I woke up this morning, I felt better than I have in weeks. Totally awake, refreshed and ready to go. Very strange.

Got another email from Heathy today. Sounds like she and Marshie are having a blast. Some day I hope to be rich like them so I can go away on a real trip.
