My Sunday:

12:00 noon - Donated a pint of blood
1:00 - 6:00PM: Yard work, including disposing of two felled trees and blowing approximately 7 tons of pine needles off the roof
4:30 PM: Injected with histamine-rich saliva from wood wasp during said roof work :cry:
7:30 PM: Had two Dos-XX with large Mexican dinner :9
8:30 - 9:30 PM: Washed 5 dogs. :eyes:
9:30 - 10:30 PM: Laundered 5 towels used to dry said dogs.
10:30 - 11:00: Adult Swim :)

Monday:
5:30 AM - awaken for work. :hangover:

:boring:

15. You never have to bathe a golden-lab mix
Their hair falls out faster than you can wash it!

Wow, all that after giving blood. Did you take anything for the wasp bite? That plus the donation plus the XX+XX could be interesting.

14. Lessee...
I've been running around since Thursday (short version: state Dem convention Friday-Saturday, wedding reception Saturday, made Sunday brunch, went with BF and his daughter to the zoo on an 85-degree day, drove 75 miles to hang out with Fudge Stripe Cookays, had dinner & coffee, came home, got up at 6:45 to go to work).

I'm happy to be at work today, if only so I can just sit here for 8 hours.

But my weekend was mostly running around, not actual physical labor. Get some sleep, Richardo!

20. This wasn't Twin Cities -- just a hangout
My schedule's been psycho nuts (see above).

But hanging with the Keebleriffic One was a lot of fun, thanks!

22. MY GOD, RICHARDO!
I don't think that you read your post-donation instructions, did you? There's NO WAY IN HELL that you are supposed to do all that stuff...A pint of blood has significant quantities of red cells, you know...No wonder your ass was dragging!

I'm proud of you for donating; we need donors like crazy...but still, we don't want you to endanger yourself in the process! Please take care, my dear...

:yourock:

:pals:

23. Well, that's all very impressive, but what did you do until noon?
You had all morning to get other chores done! :crazy:

Thanks for giving blood, but seriously hon, you are going to hurt yourself!
