Boo.
01-Sep-05
I was deferred yesterday from donating blood because my iron was 35, 3 points below what it needs to be to donate. Whoops. Not eating enough red meat, apparently. I’ll have to try again next week.
John’s dad arrived last night. His flight was delayed a couple of hours. Because of my deferment, I basically had nothing to do for about 3 hours between my non-donation and picking him up at the airport. I went to Fry’s, killed some time, bought a couple of things, then to the airport, where I drove around for a while before going in and having a Starbucks while I waited. It was very much a “killing time” kind of night. I took him out to Elephant Bar for dinner on the way home, and the combination of water, wine, and a very large dinner made him very content, I think. Which he needed, after basically travelling all day.
