turpsIt was my latest blood donation today. Unlike last time it went very well and I gave a full pint easily.
Of course, it was very different than usual but I felt very safe. You had to be triaged before you even got past the lobby of the donation centre, and a nurse in PPE took me and another man upstairs, as downstairs was being used to collect plasma from people who have already had the coronavirus. From there it was a quick wait to drink water and read the info pack before being taken to a banana chair and the deed being done.
The only thing I thought was a bit strange was no drink was offered after. Obviously the snack table couldn't happen and I was given a chocolate club to take away with me, but no offer of a drink. Plus, you were sent back downstairs on your own which seemed a bit risky straight after a donation. I have to assume it was because I'm a regular donor and newbies would be watched for a bit. I hope so anyway.
Milo was feeling very sorry for himself this morning. All the good drugs must have worn off and he keeps lying with his chin on the ground, no doubt because the sides of his face hurt. But he's eating nicely and is taking his meds -- not nicely, but you know, he's taking them. The nurse yesterday said he'd need to be checked by the vet either Friday or Monday, but when I phoned to make the appointment she said unless things start to go wrong and he seems ill, it's fine to just phone them on Tuesday and say how he's doing, oh, and to take photos of his teeth and mouth if possible and send them over. Which, okay then, I see the possibility of successfully doing that being around zero.
The June Something.
Besides deathfic, rape/non-con, what is something that, no matter the pairing, you nope out of when it comes to reading?
Well, first up I read all of those things. I get why they're used as an example but they wouldn't make me nope at all. Not much does tbh. Though I'm not keen on body fluids used as a focus of a fic and reading humiliation tends to make me cringe. One that does make me back button like whoa is a character being made evil in order to get two other people together. So, for example, Jamia made evil to get Frank and Gerard together or back in the day, Alicia as some kind of mean, abusive gold digger. I'm not down with that at all.
