Stick me with that needle

Despite the knot in my stomach, I made an appointment to once again donate blood platelets next week, the day before I turn 65. Platelet donation is horrid, takes 2 hours or longer. I'm hoping that the UBS center won't have the air conditioning pouring out ice cubes like it did all last summer. My arthritis makes me miserable when I get cold and that chair was beyond cold. It took me a couple of hours to get warm and stop shaking inside.

If it weren't for the honor, I'd rather not have a semi-rare blood type, A negative.
