Happy Halloween - ish?

I woke up to pasty grey skies this morning and I found that fall had arrived. Calling United Blood Services was first on the dreaded list of today's chores, right above clean room and avoid trick or treaters. Calling seemed a breeze, but the challenge came when the time came to extract the human fluids from my poor whithered veins. Arriving in the parking lot, it was a first in a long time, and no, it was not under licence plate suspision as it had been once before. Police seem to patrol that area pretty heavily, because today, yet again, cops were taking the rounds as if the nieghborhood was infested with hidden criminals. Now, picture the sheer irony of donating blood on the one holiday that seems the creepiest... All Hallow's Eve! *evil laughter in the distant background* lol. By the way, I will compliment myself on my hysterical narritive that is going on in my mind as I write this mysterious blog entry. Anyways Three painful needle sticks later and the brilliant and friendly technicians received the flash and the flow that followed soon after. Squeezing the Heart every 3 to 5 seconds, life flowed out of my body, and it's journey began, traveling elsewhere to save some poor soul's life. Accomplishing....I thought to myself happily, yet quite nauseated. After driving out of the driveway and away from pass memories of old friends and good/bad times in that parking lot, I passed a Subway and ventured inside for some nourishment, to help replenish the blood cells which I had given volunarily to help another.

I spent most of the afternoon cleaning, and trying to sleep peacefully when I could catch a break for relentless chores that whispered to me from some small, confined space in some corner at the back of my mind. A friend called, wanting to enjoy a game or two as we subconsciously listened to some movie, playing in the background. Finding time to enjoy anothers company, I found myself happy.... and in the back of my mind..... some part of me echoed....Happy Halloween.
