Half a Litre of Blood Later
Finally got around to making a blood donation, today. This is the first time since the 90s.

What changed this time? I finally decided to go up to Yonge and Bloor, since King is always booked up whenever I check it.

It is funny that it has been so long since my last donation that they actually classified me as a first-time donor.

Anyway, it was much like back in the day, but the questionnaire is done at a terminal, instead of in person, the blood iron test uses a machine instead of some special liquid drop timing, and they give you juice and chips before they even start taking blood on top of the cookies after.

Anyway, felt a bit odd when I reached the 400mL mark but it didn't turn into anything and I haven't had an issue for the rest of the day so it was probably just in my head.

I guess I can look into going back in 2 months.

Finally managed to contribute _something_ of value to society,
