So this most recent period has been terrible to me. Icky feeling and migraines for three days. The second two days of it has some of the heaviest flow I’ve ever had. Which granted, is still not as bad as I’ve heard other ppl getting. But this is all to say it all really sucks and I wish my head would stop hurting!

So summer of 2017, I started shaving my head Furiosa short. I did this until mid-October and then let it grow out. I’ve went to the stylist fairly regularly to have things evened out and trimmed. It’ll be a year since the last big cut and already my hair is down to the bottom of my ears. It’s nearly too long for my hair to be considered a pixie cut and that is goddamn nutty imo

After I was able to go to the ‘recovery station’ once blood was given, a volunteer started talking to me and asked me if I was in college. I told her no and that I worked nearby. She asked if I had done college at all and I told her I had and got a degree but wasn’t using it. Starting to wonder if this was an age thing, I mentioned I’d be turning 30 in the next couple of months and she was really taken aback. lolol She said she thought I was 22!! Very sweet of her but I don’t think anyone else is gonna make that mistake this year. Hahaha.

Also, my phlebotomist was very enthused that I had ‘two good veins’ in which to pick from for the donation. Strange day. Haha

About a year ago, I tried to give blood, but about halfway through I started feeling really bad and was afraid I’d pass out and had to ask them to stop. I hadn’t given enough that it could share. I felt shaky and off the rest of the day, and it put me off.

Today I’m going to try again in about 45 mins. Ate some yogurt just now and will eat a handful of cashews. I also brought Gatorade with me to work hoping that might help with the shakiness I felt afterward.

I am hopeful to make it through. I started feeling all the terrible things after someone explained in detail why they had to keep wiggling the needle in my arm and I started visualizing it. Gonna tell ppl this time not to explain the deets. Haha. Fingers crossed!!

Had my first unexpected pregnancy dream in well over a year. Kind of strange. And definitely uncomfortable. On top of the general ‘oh god I don’t know how to raise kids I don’t have space or money for them I’m going to screw this up,’ I was having complications. Water broke two weeks before they were ready to take the baby out and Doctor was like ‘I’ll be back in four hours to deal with this, just chill in the emergency room’????

It was… not fun.

Oh! And also, this was the doctor who abandoned me in the emergency room:

Also @ecouter-bien, I’m sure you’re right and it’s just a rare glitch. My brain has been a little off the rails this week 😓
