SNAPSHOTS FROM HOME Falling Asleep Between Classes... ...which I almost never do. Started to worry about why it's happening, and then remembered: I gave blood at the National Institutes of Health yesterday. And then went for a long walk, which you're not supposed to do. Wild morning at NIH. Who knew it was bring your kid to work day? Tons of kids everywhere. There was an Earth Day fair too. I was entered into an NIH experiment. I'm in the control group -- women who are regular donors and whose iron content always tests okay, but who don't take iron pills. Apparently, for some women, even if they take pills, regular donation depletes their iron reserves, and they're sometimes turned away from giving as a result... The nurse asked me fun questions. Not the regular blood donation questions about your sex life, but questions like Do you sometimes have a desire to eat pebbles? |
