12:00 - eat salad, tuna, and easy mac for big pre-plasma breakfast
1:00 - give plasma - more than usual, because my boots and thick heavy sweater put me over the limit for 640ml and into 825ml
7:00 - go to the Hotel, have a single can of Budweiser, and get drunk
heh, bog.
I ate a whole lot of pizza after that, though, so I didn't stay drunk long. It was just funny.
In the not-so-funny news for today, while getting on expedia.com to print out my itinerary, I see "the status of your flight has changed!". So I call them up, and they say that my flight from Dallas to Cleveland doesn't exist anymore. =P So then there's a whole fiasco of calling Continental and getting my flight changed.. unfortunately they wouldn't change it to flying out of OKC, but I am still flying out of Dallas at approximately the same time, at the airport that is more familiar to me (DFW, not love field), and getting to Boston at approximately the same time. I'll be returning earlier (actually leaving Boston later, but not a 2-hour layover, so I'll arrive in Dallas earlier) and if it actually works out that Goldbug or someone else with spare time can come and pick me up at my new arrival time of 2:40, I can actually get back home in time for work at the lab at 6:30. And that's good.
So things were scary there for a bit, but since I've already bought tickets from Continental, they're kind of obligated to get me to Boston. :)
Oh, another thing about giving plasma today - I kind of forgot, when they took the needle out, to push down on the wound with the gauze pad, and basically I bled all through it and we ended up using about three pads before I was rightly bound up. Oops. Well I won't be giving plasma for a few weeks anyway, so my body will make the blood up.
