silver_chipmunkI got up at 10:00 and had breakfast and coffee. Then I showered and dressed, wore one of the new bralettes to try it out. Worked out fine, very comfortable.
Then I killed time on the computer til 1:45 when I left to go to the blood donation center. Took the 20 bus to the subway and the 7 train to the F, and there to 71st Ave and it's right there.
I was early but it didn't make any difference, they got me filling out the form immediately and then took me right in. The donation went easily, and really went fast, I was surprised. The center is very attractive and modern and comfortable.
Afterward I had cookies (chocolate chip, and butter crunch) and juice (cranberry and apple) and chocolate pudding. I felt fine, not even the slight dizziness I have sometimes had after a donation.
After I ate and drank and felt safe to leave I walked to Red Mango, which you pass between the center and the subway. I had passion fruit frozen yogurt with stuff for lunch. The only seating is outside though, and it was a little too windy to be totally enjoyable.
I got home around 5:00, and puttered online, making sure my TV was set up for the finale of 911 and 911:Nashville at 8:00 and 9:00.
At 7:00 I Teamed the FWiB. We talked til just before my shows.
The 911 finale was very nail biting. The Nashville finale was very... soapy. But I enjoyed them both.
I called Middle Brother at 8:30 as usual. He is fine, went out yesterday to a store, I didn't catch what he said, and 7-11 for treats. He's happy.
At 10:00 I fed the pets and made myself dinner, and started here.
And that was the day.
Oh, I have forgotten to say for several days that at 11:30 pm on Monday I got the email with the results of my mammogram and sonogram. They were normal. So all is well on that front.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. The new blood donation center.
3. Red Mango frozen yogurt.
4. Good TV.
5. Middle Brother is happy.
6. The mammogram was good.
