tried to give blood
I went to try and give blood this afternoon, but was deferred due to a mosquito bite on my arm vein. The lady asking me the “is your blood good enough for us” questions saw it, then looked at my other arm, and decided she needed to consult with someone else to see if they could do it today. I was paranoid that they think I’m shooting up, since it is a weird looking mosquito bite that I’ve been scratching pretty relentlessly all week. After two more ladies came in to look at my bite and squeeze and tap my other arm, they decided they couldn’t poke the bite arm or coax the vein to the surface of my other arm. I was sent home with a gi-normous t-shirt which I tried to decline but got peer pressured into taking anyway. I hope my file isn’t red flagged with “junkie” now.
