Bloodlust

Today is Dollar Day at County Market. As you can see, the carts are full and the lines are long. The deals can't be beat, though. My receipt says I saved $101. I take this with a grain of salt, as it also says I saved $12 on red peppers alone (I bought 4 at a buck each). This would mean that the normal price for these is $4 each! This is a lie, they can be pretty expensive but not that bad, who would buy them? I bought a lot of meat. Most of it was a dollar a pound, which is bloody fabulous!
People were pretty nice today, too. Sometimes it gets a little ugly, especially around supper time.

The Bloodmobile was up at our church on Monday. I always try to give a pint, because I have rare blood. I am AB positive. Only 3.2 % of the population has this type. The only thing rarer is AB negative. (Look, another random thing about me! Counting the pagan thing, I think I'm up to #8.)

I also make lotsa platelets, so sometimes I go and they extract those from my blood and then put the rest of the blood back in. If you have trouble passing the hemoglobin test at the bloodmobile it seems to help if your fingers are nice and warm before they poke them. This may be the worst photo EVER taken of me. I think I'll hang it on the refrigerator. As a horrible warning.

I am still waiting for the next Kim Harrison book, "White witch, Black Curse". I am number 1 on the list and I'm checking that a couple times a day. Seriously, whoever has it, read faster or I'll come to your house. You can't beat a nice bloodthirsty vampire book. I tried to read "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle", but gave up because I was too worried about Edgar's (entirely FICTIONAL) doggies! I don't like to be between books, it makes me cranky.
