Volume 17 - Day 193/172, 2025 - Saturday

I am extra tired this early evening as I write this, and I did very little of anything today. I did stay out for a pretty good while in the heat, so I think that is the challenge. I did half a walk this morning, I wanted to be at the subdivision amenity center at 8 o'clock to meet the We Are Blood people for our blood drive. I got there at a little before 8, and left at a little after 1. We had 37 people show up for the blood drive, and 3o of those were approved to give a blood donation. Some neighbors were too light (don't weigh enough to give blood), some had high or low blood pressure issues, others had low iron counts. My personal goal for the drive was 26 donations, so I am happy with the final number. Our next drive will be in November, and next year, hopefully, we can do this on a quarterly basis. Otherwise, the most important thing I did today was to hydrate and take a couple naps. Tomorrow we will catch up on estate sales, and at noon Paulina and Val and Oliver will come over and we will take off for lunch. Getting back in the routines is always good for me.
