I didn’t get to give blood. š¦ My iron was too low. But my iron is ALWAYS low. Every time I go to a screening, my iron is low and the nurse comments on it. Ā So I don’t think I will ever be able to donate. Part of me is relieved, but I thought giving blood might be my new thing to do. I guess not.
I had a bad social anxiety moment at the blood bank. I’m not dwelling on it, but I thought I would share some of it here. Basically, I scared a nurse off. She was 2 feet away from me. She was facing me and she was staring while I was giving my info to another nurse. Anyone with SA will understand this is a nightmare situation. WHY WAS SHE STARING AT ME? It was so uncomfortable. Well, she refused to work with me when I didn’t give the right social cues. She got another nurse to do it. lol.
I felt horrible at the time. But now it’s like whatever. Typical social person getting their panties in a wad when someone doesn’t respond in a normal way. G-d help them. That’s all I have to say about that.
I’m getting my trunk from Trunk Club very soon. So excited!! I already know what’s in the box. She put a $178 dress in the box that I wouldn’t pick up off the street. haha. But I will try it on. I might like it. I probably won’t keep it because it is out of my price range. Overall, she did a decent job. She doesn’t know my style at all. We didn’t talk on the phone like we were supposed to. She didn’t even see my Pinterest board.
I will do a detailed entry on my trunk when it arrives. I’m not doing a Youtube video, but I will be doing a Ā bunch of videos on Snapchat (username: kat3x5). Ā Yep, I’m now comfortable doing videos without showing my face. I don’t want to scare people.
I’m having issues with parking and the Tori Kelly concert. I have to make a phone call. I emailed them and of course, they didn’t respond. That is why I HATE driving to DC. I like the city, but parking…argh! Since I’m having issues with the venue’s parking spots, I was going to park at George Washington University, but that’s a private school. Who knew? (Uh, people in DC). Maybe they will let me park there and walk a longĀ way. I have no idea.
This week Iā¦
Music of the week:Ā Ellie Goulding, Shania Twain, K. Michelle, Jewel, Ā Fifth Harmony, Little Mix, Erin McCarley, Sia
What an interesting mix. Lately, I’ve been getting back into Ellie Goulding. Love the new K. Michelle album. Well, I hate two of the songs. The rest is decent.
TV of the week: Ā House of Cards, basketball
It is interesting to watch season 4 play out during a real political season. House of Cards is so good.
Movie of the week:Ā none. I swear I’m going to watch Spotlight within the next two weeks.
Books of the week:Ā A Mother’s Reckoning: Living in the Aftermath of TragedyĀ by Sue Klebold. This book is so hard to read. It’s impossible for me to read it without crying so I can’t read it every day. Sue Klebold is the mother of Dylan Klebold, one of the Columbine High School shooters. Devasting.
Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible ThingsĀ by Jenny Lawson. I wasn’t interested in this book when I thought it was just about depression. But when I found out the author had anxiety, I knew I had to get this book. I’ve read a lot of books from people suffering from depression. Been there, done that. But people rarely talk about anxiety. I just started this book this week and so far so good.
Plans for the weekend: Ā I’m mowing the front yard (only). I’m like a broken record. I will work on my practicum, watch basketball and read. What else is there to do? I have to finish my practicum by the last day of April. Ā Hopefully, I will get my trunk and have a post up on that this weekend or Monday-ish. I haven’t gotten my free Fitbit Zip yet. They probably won’t send out tracking info since it’s free so who knows when I’ll get it.
The end.
