Mmm, iron.

*pouts*

I, apparently, do not have enough iron to give blood. I made plans to prevent this! I ate chicken on Tuesday, and fish this afternoon! I've been eating more meat than I have in years. So why do I not have enough iron? I should have iron! I should not have blood that bobs straight to the surface during the iron test instead of sinking like it's supposed to.

I was even there with a friend who had never given blood before, but whom I'd convinced to come. She got to give blood. See how unfair it all is? Life is so cruel.

Stupid... blood.

They did the centrifuge thing to me too, but they just took that blood from the same finger.

And I would eat more red meat, but I don't like most meat. ^^; I tell people I'm a vegetarian except when I don't feel like it, but usually they laugh at me. It's true, though. I only eat meat when I have a particular craving for it, and that tends to happen just a few times a month.
