Strike 2

I don't believe it! I just don't believe it!!

1 stupid point!!!!!

Last time I tried to donate blood, I was 2 points low in iron.

Apparently I am anemic.

Why? I made a yummy beef stroganoff for dinner last night and made sure to take a nice helping of meat. I take my vitamins. I drank several bottles of water...I was ready!!

All I can think of is that I must have sweat it all out in yesterdays 12 mile run. That has to be it.

Next time I will remember to do a shorter route the day before. It seems to really make a difference in my blood count.

I'd just not run at all the day before, but you know they tell you not to run for 3 whole days after donating blood and we can't do that!!!

I also had my annual pap test today...oh joy, what a fun day for me! Now let's hope I get a nice little post card in the mail 2-3 weeks from now declaring me "cancer free". The next day phone call is scary.
