Donating blood

pneI went and donated blood again yesterday.
Nothing spectacular, except that the nurse who took a drop of blood from my fingertip to test my haematocrit was rather cute, and the doctor took quite a while to show up. Oh, and the nurse who actually took the blood seemed rather hard-of-hearing; she "ignored" not just me but also another nurse when she wasn't expecting to be addressed.
Perhaps I should make a userpic for donating; I'm planning to go again in June, and possible also in August and/or October (which I got tentative dates for, at least a calendar week, though the exact days and the venue are still TBD).
