How far will I go? Pretty darn far.

I went to give blood today. Instead of the 11th hour workout I thought I'd just bleed a little to see the scale go down tomorrow. That's dedication right there. Unfortunately I have low iron and today it happened to be too low so they booted me out. And in honor of my failure I wrote this little song:

(Sung to the tune of "Beauty School Dropout" from Grease)
Blood donor dropout
no juice and cookies for you
Blood donor dropout
won't take a drop or even two
I answered all the questionier
and they gave my finger a prick
spun my blood around and then I found
no dice, you are anemic!

Blood donor dropout
no big needle stick today
Blood donor dropout
won't even let me if I pay
I've rolled up my sleeve
don't make me leave
I even think I cried!
The nurse just gave a smile
and a sticker that said "I Tried".
