One of the good things about donating blood (above and beyond the whole 'you're donating blood, genius' aspect) is that they take your blood pressure. It's an easy way to keep tabs. It's why I got serious about weight loss last year - my BP was edging over into the high zone.

Yesterday?

Now on the edge of too low. It would explain why I've been so tired, though I'm still inclined to give 'not nearly enough sleep' and 'running around the hospital like a lunatic' as my primary rule-outs.

*facepalm* I win.

Now to go take care of my inpatient that wants nothing more (other than the procedure she came in for) than vet student finger tartar, and to drink coffee and read board review notes and drink more coffee and present myself to the pre-anesthesia room in time to stop the anesthesologist from actually knocking down my patient too early due to my resident not taking personal time into account when scheduling procedures.

Vet student: Part grunt, part ignoramus, part social secretary.

Things I found out today:
1) Sometimes blood donation makes me feel crappy the day after
2) PDA repairs and pacemaker placement takes for-frickin'-ever
3) Coldstone 'Birthday Cake Remix' does, actually, taste exactly like birthday cake.
4) Just the thought of tomorrow being Friday makes Thursday bearable
5) Missing out on free lunch, even if free lunch didn't look all that appetizing, sucks
