New personal record!

Been cutting back on the coffee and tea recently, trying to focus on hydrating like mad since I've let my hydration game slip a bit.

Well, my 2 week wait to donate plasma again was coming up so I booked myself in. Did my usual amount (maximum allowed, 874mL), last time was just under 48 minutes, this time a few seconds over 40 minutes. The staff were joking about the person who just started their shift wanting a spicy margarita or glass of wine in this heat, I'm just there thinking those gals can keep their booze, I'm going to focus on speed-running saving lives.

So here I am, sitting, smiling in a dog park, stone cold sober, reading Camus and watching pups run around chasing each other or coming over for pats. Not 20m away from where I sat at 6am today with a coffee and croissant. I've got a work call at 11, but for this moment, right now, I'm just enjoying this little slice of peace.
