Good Pixie!

Rest day today due to being a good pixie and giving blood!

I also picked up a leaflet on Platelet donation but suspect that will be too much of a commitment as they look for donations 8-10 times a year.

Grandma had a blood transfusion when she had her hip replaced so I know how important blood is. Also mum has a weak heart valve and will need it replacing in the next few years (5 max I think) so I am very aware of the need for blood. Add I am O RH+ and that 83% of peeps can use my blood then yes it should be done. We'll see.

Good on you. Sadly I'm not allowed to give blood anymore after I collapsed after a couple of donations. Makes me fell like a wimp when they hold Blood Donor sessions at work.

The Next Three Weeks

So I have a few busy weeks ahead that may, or may not, affect what happens here. So this weekend I am running the Chester metric marathon - should do about 3:30 and get a PB by around 30 mins if things go to plan. Next week I am on holiday and have the in-laws visiting which will be nice. Then after then I have 2 weeks of jury service in Derby. I really want to get a case as I am really interested in knowing what actually happens and what it's like in court. But knowing my luck I will have 2 weeks of waiting for nothing. I have Ami's zoom calls to review and take notes on, books to read, coloring/drawing to try my hand at and Loki to watch! After that the exciting news is my part time request has gone through so from 4th December I will be part time. Very exciting. Then hopefully I can start a potential path to being a swimming teacher. Fun days ahead

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
