Fainting

No breakfast....
Nothing to drink earlier in the morning....
Empanadas, black bean soup, mojito, water for lunch....
Low blood pressure....
Any and all of the above caused problems when I donated blood yesterday. I've never passed out before but was on the brink of doing just that plus was nauseated when I left the donating table and moved to the snack area. I've learned my lesson because I sure don't want a repeat of that out-of-control feeling.

Lightning flashes played across my closed eyelids a little while ago. I can hear rolling thunder now that I'm up. We'd planned a trip to the farmers' market this morning that might be canceled if it's raining too hard.

  1. You had a cocktail then donated blood? You're supposed to drink AFTERWARD so you'll be a cheap drunk! Ask Rob, he & I did that plenty in school.

    Joking aside, I'm glad you're okay now. That is a scary feeling.

  2. I know. I HATE out-of-control feelings like that.
