So I am on day 2 of kids camp and I am loving it. I do this every year and every year the kids seem to get more interesting. Today I just want to talk about giving blood and platelets. I’ve given blood once (the second time my hemoglobin was just barely under so I couldn’t donate). I encourage you guys that if you can to go donate whenever possible. Some people are afraid of needles and the needles they use for blood donation are BIG but if you can handle it please do donate. If you donate platelets you get an amazon gift card btw, and you can donate every seven days. I am not personally squeamish with needles but my mother is so I get it. Anytime me or anybody in the family get blood drawn my mom will cry so I want to let you know that if you can’t stomach it that’s ok but please consider it. Today was a good day, just tiring I got home around noon from kids camp and I was knocked out until about 6pm. Those kids are no joke. I am in charge of 30 kids all under age 13 for 2 hours trying to teach them a sport they have zero interest in, most of them anyways. I met this lovely older man the other day while I was practicing on the range and he too was a fellow lefty. He told me that he only started playing when he was 40 and feels embarrassed because he typically does not play as well as his friends and as a result whenever I see him I give him five tips to put into practice. I don’t know if it truly helps but I hope it does. It is never too late to start doing something you want to do, you just have to start and from then on it will begin to be a part of your daily or weekly routine. Goodnight chickies; the future Messy College Girl.
