I've made tomorrow's meals today, but I've never made Monday's meals Wednesday. I figure doing them all in one shot while I have the energy will make me less sapped of energy later on (or able to spend my remaining energy elsewhere), and look forward to seeing how it goes in the next few days when meals are no longer a cooking endeavor after work or a decision, but just selecting the thing labeled with the right day of the week and following a few instructions I left for myself.

I have heard train conductors make (non-prerecorded, live) announcements before, but it never sounded as clear as what I'm hearing today! I guess the current conductor either has experience with making announcements over PA systems or talking into mics, or the PA system is just better in this train. Wonder which. Either way, it's a pleasure to hear.

Getting hurt is the worst, your safety is first.

I noticed that the Red Cross site tells you intervals between the same type of donation (e.g. time between a platelet donation and a platelet donation, time between a blood donation and a blood donation), but not intervals between different types (e.g. time between platelet donation and blood donation). I'll update this thread with more types as I learn more! Feel free to submit your own cross-donation-type intervals if you also donate with the American Red Cross.

• Platelets with plasma donated
  • Want to donate platelets without plasma: eligible 7th day/1 week after your donation
  • Want to donate regular whole blood: 28th day/4 weeks after your donation
  • Want to donate Power Red blood donation: 28th day/4 weeks after your donation
• Whole blood (regular, not Power Red) donated
  • Want to donate platelets (not sure about how with or without plasma affects this): eligible 3rd day after your donation
  • Want to donate regular whole blood: 8 weeks after your donation
  • Want to donate Power Red blood donation: 8 weeks after your donation

Couldn't figure out how to get a specific ticket I wanted digitally, so I bought a physical one feeling I had no other option. I figured out how to buy the ticket I wanted digitally and now I have a digital train ticket. I will no longer need to dig through my purse for a train ticket and hold it in my hand for awhile while trying to do something else on the train, I just flash my phone (already on) at the conductor quickly. I am glad I got this done.

I just thought 5 5s in a row was neat.

I have not seen the leaf changes because it's so dark going to and coming home from work, but taking a walk in daylight showed me that the green leaves have indeed gone yellow for fall.
