Monday and the Bloodmobile

I slept poorly last night. I have too many things going today and that kept me restless. I didn't hear any more from the cricket though. That was a blessing. I got up shortly before 5:00AM and had my coffee, oatmeal and even a breakfast bar.

At 8:00AM or thereafter, I will call Karan's beauty shop  and tell them she is still in the hospital in Bartlesville. They won't release her until they get to the bottom of her latest ailment. They discovered something wrong with her liver...something about her liver enzymes being off. Maybe I will know more later in the day. 

Anyhow I am to give blood in Coffeyville at 11:45AM. I am also to work at the bloodmobile as an escort from 12:00Noon until 3:00PM. Obviously that is too much in such as short time. I will try to get in earlier or try to reschedule my appointment to give blood until tomorrow. They are working strictly by appointments and not too many at a time. We are to wear face masks and keep social distancing. The country is in bad need of blood..especially O positive, like mine. It can be used for anyone. 

Then I need to tell them Karan will not be working as an escort tomorrow either unless they release her from the hospital today. To get her heart converted Saturday, they changed her heart medicine. They should put her on the same med that Bob takes for his atrial fibrillation. He hasn't had a spell of it since they did that two years ago.

More later...I'd better go see if the cats are starving.

Scruffie was there and I took food out for four cats as usual. The other three came over for that and Scruffie left without eating. She is still not too happy with the new food. The black cat and his/her sibling are still eating there. The other light yellow cat ate and left so those two are all there are still out there. They usually usually hang around and play or look in the door at me.

More later... 

I left for Coffeyville as soon as the CBS news was over. When I got over to Coffeyville I went out to their Walmart and got the four things I needed. Then I went to Sonic and had their three piece chicken dinner and after I finished that, it was time to go to the Red Cross bloodmobile. 

I signed in and then when I was finally interviewed I learned I had low hemoglobin. The nurse stuck the right hand index finger first and that was around 11 something. Then she stuck the left hand in hopes of finding that finger's blood high enough. It needs to be 12.2 in order for them to take your blood. It was just 12 so she deferred me. I need to eat raisins and take a multi vitamin get it up before January when the next blood drive is scheduled. I did stay and try to work as an escort for the people who give blood and walk them to the table where the snacks and water are found. I found most people wanted distancing between one another...including me. I did the best I could without touching anyone. And I thanked each one for coming to give blood.

I left at 3:00PM and came home. It is almost 4:00PM now and I will turn on the channel 6 news.

More later... 

When I opened the front door Scruffie was waiting for her supper. I fixed the bowls and took them out and all four of them were there ready to eat. The pale yellow cat, Scruffie and also the cats/kittens.. the one that I call Blondie and the one I call Inky are all out there eating. 

Scruffie has lost some weight. It may be her loss of appetite because I changed her food. She is more picky then the other cats.  If she gets hungry enough, she will eat whatever  is before her.

More even later...  

 
All I have to do tomorrow is laundry. Wednesday has been changed to game day since the ordinary game day would have been the day before Thanksgiving. I imagine they will do the same in December with Christmas since the regular game day in December would have been the day before Christmas. That's Christmas Eve.

I watched the news and then took my bath and got myself ready for bed. I will read until 9:00PM or so and then go on to bed.
