Doing Something Amazing

I'm feeling very proud of myself. I gave blood this week for the first time.

It's been on my To Do list for some years now, but the fact that Mac received blood both during and after his heart surgery has finally spurred me into action.

They struggled to find a vein at first, and the sensation of my lovely blood bubbling away down the tube was not very pleasant, but it's nothing compared to everything I've seen Mac go through recently, so I didn't allow myself to feel bad about it.

In fact I didn't cry, I didn't faint, and I didn't scoff all the tea and biscuits afterwards. I thank you.
