Eventful week
Last week turned out to be a bit of a strange one!
Firstly I was in the basement at work doing some archiving and ended up dropping half of what I was carrying. I bent down awkwardly and (embarrassingly) split my trousers… ARG! I called my friend down and she lent me her cardigan to put round my waist and then we laughed about the whole thing. I managed to get home without any more embarrassment. They were my favourite work trousers as well! :(
Usual work days followed, then Thursday came. I’ve started to donate blood whenever the blood mobile it at our office and I’d booked an appointment for Thursday afternoon before I headed off home. Giving blood went smoothly. Got up and sat for a bit holding the little bandage on my arm while the nurses tended to other people. Anyway I looked down to see if I can take the bandage off and noticed I’d started bleeding so had to sit for a bit longer to make sure it stopped. I then left with my friend and started to walk back to my desk, however after getting half way I noticed my arm was bleeding quite a lot so had to walk back to the mobile again! Sat for a bit and chatted to the nurses and then for the second time headed back to my desk. My friend was going home so I stopped and turned around to say bye and while she was talking to me I thought ‘man, blood is rushing to my head, I’ll stand still so it passes’. Well it’s safe to say it didn’t pass as I’d hoped, as the next thing I remember was looking up at my friend from the floor and thinking ‘why the hell am I on the floor’. My first time fainting was quite an experience!
I’ve also been fighting getting a cold but I think giving blood lowered my immune system so I’m now ill. Which has also meant that they’ve had to discard my blood donation cause I’m ill. ARG! All that for it to be thrown away. lol, typical.
I’m happy to say that nothing else has happened… for now anyway.
How’s everyone else’s life been. Eventful?
