...because I donated blood today for the first time in too long! I used to be a regular but have fallen off the donation wagon in recent years, and today I jumped back in. No strenuous exercise allowed for 24 hours, so just a bit of walking and maybe some stretching later.

But most importantly, I want to encourage those who are able and willing to donate! Blood is critically needed and donating is easy to do - quick and relatively painless, plus you get free snacks afterwards! And who doesn't love free Oreos and Cheez-its? 😆
