Blood Donation

I donated blood Tuesday morning, for the first time in over a year (having had gum grafts disqualified me until six months after the last graft). I went to a Bloodmobile in Alexandria, not too far from the Patent Office headquarters. On my way, I passed through familiar territory, and saw that Namaste Jalsa was open for carry out, as was a Thai restaurant I’ve been to, and that the Asian Bistro seemed to be open. I’m glad that these restaurants have managed to stay in business.

The donation itself went well, and I did some major napping when I got home, but now I feel basically recovered enough.

Dirty Weather

We had snow this morning, which turned into cold rain, plenty of cold rain, so I have mostly remained indoors today. On Sunday, it was warm enough for me to go out in a short-sleeved shirt and no coat. How things can change.
