Don't touch me.

So, as I've written about before, I have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder.  It's pretty much under control, but there are still certain things I struggle with.

It's been 6 weeks already?

Apparently it's already been 6 weeks since I joined the gallon-donor club, because I'm scheduled to give blood again.  Wednesday morning post will be absent and/or delayed.

Don't forget to call 1-800-RED-CROSS to schedule your blood donation!

Had I known how to save a life...

No post today because I've got this morning filled up with my scheduled blood donation to the Red Cross.  This is my 8th donation, making me a part of the prestigious "Gallon Donor" club.

Summer is a really hard time for the Red Cross.  There are more accidents and more people needed blood, but less people giving due to disruptions in their regular schedule, whether due to vacation, or time off school, or whatever.

If you want to help, please call 1-800-REDCROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit the Red Cross blood donation website.
