  1. Just got home a little bit ago from another long day at work. I wanted to go to The Gathering tonight but I didn't get out of work until 12:20am. I started at 12pm. We've been working 12s the past few days. I've been told it's supposed to continue for a while. Not sure how long my body will put up with this. I ran alone today, which means I basically fast walked for most of 12 hours. But I made it through it and now I'm home in my comfy bed. :bunny:

  2. Both of my kids lost their shoes for the millionth time, which meant we spent 15 minutes of our morning looking for shoes and had to scramble to get ready. I'm sick of it so they lost tech (tv, tablet, and video games) for the day. Which gave them plenty of time to clean their rooms. 

    While they were at school I finally went and worked out. I only lasted 12 minutes on the elliptical machine but that beats my previous record of 5 minutes. :laugh::confused: 

    I got my Easter shopping done. We celebrate Easter a little differently. We don't believe in a god so Easter is a spring celebration. Along with the usual candy I got them bunny related stuff, cherry tomato seeds, strawberry plants, soil, starter peat pellets and a greenhouse, and 2 large pots for the plants to go in. Teaching the kids how to grow food is important to me and it's become an Easter tradition. 

    My belly has been messed up so I got mushroom soup from Pekin Tokyo for my lunch. 

    When the kids got home they were not happy about having to clean their rooms but they got a lot done. 

    I managed to successfully use my pressure cooker to make dinner without blowing up the house. It was chicken and rice with carrots, mushrooms, onions, garlic, and spices. 

    I've been trying various kinds of beer to see what I like and the one I tried tonight was definitely a nope. It's called Train Wreck. 

    Since my belly is still healing I'm taking my magic combo of lots of ibuprofen and lots of Benadryl.

    Sorry you feel ill, but thanks to this post, I was able to educate myself on something new.  Years ago I heard they were going to try doing the platelet removal, but it had not been perfected.  Now I was able to research this process with actual field results. 

    I do hope you make a full recovery. :happy:

    Thanks. I'll be fine, it was just a bad reaction. I hope I don't dissuade anyone on here from donating.

    The machine they use is pretty neat. I was watching it do it's thing occasionally. I got to see my donation too. The platelets are kind of a pale yellow color. The lady who was taking care of me was nice enough to explain things to me.

  4. Worst Valentine's Day ever. I donated platelets today and had a bad reaction to the process. I came very close to passing out twice and threw up twice. They had to cover me in cold wash cloths and have me breathe in a paper bag. The process takes 2.5 to 3 hours but they had to stop me with 20 minutes left since I almost passed out again. I wasn't expecting it to be that difficult. I've been dizzy, nauseous, and weak all day. All I can do is lay down. Just getting up to go the bathroom was exhausting. I've felt like crap all day and I'm disappointed in myself that I couldn't finish. I still donated most of the platelets I would have but I wanted to finish.
