I was up quite early today, about 6:30 to be exact. Not that it’s that early compared to my usual 7:00 wakeup, but I still felt more tired.

I had an appointment to give blood, seeing as my girlfriend gives blood, she finally persuaded me into giving as well. I had an appointment at 8 and start work at 8:30, but I just beamed over a mail and told them I would be late. I did have quite a valid reason for being late, so I’m sure they didn’t mind.
It was a simple procedure really. I went in, got connected to a tube and they took some blood. It all took about 10 minutes, but I did have to sit and relax for about half an hour due to the sudden blood loss and all.

Once it was all over, I could pick out a prize (kind of being at the dentist, right?) and seeing as Alina was the one that had persuaded me into going, her main arguments was that she wanted more of the Moomin cups they have. I went for the season edition 2008 version which was a special edition just for this summer. See Alina is collecting them, so getting one that you can get later on would be kind of silly.
Besides, they’re very cute.

Oh, and it turns out my blood type is O+, which means my blood is only useful for all people with a rhesus plus blood type.. I was kind of hoping I would be able to be a donor for more people, but still, I’m sure it will come to good use. Turns out me and Alina might be having difficulties conceiving a child due to the fact that she is a O-, but thankfully neither of us are much interested in such pesky critters. I just think it’s cool that we’re two opposites of the same blood type.
