03/09/2004 Entry: "X field / Gadzooks closing sale / low iron"


X marks the spot.

True and I tore up the mall on Saturday. Gadzooks is closing a bunch of stores and they're having the most amazing sale. I spent $30 and got a brand new pair of Chucks and a really cool blouse. They had some *gorgeous* suede coats that were originally $129 marked down to less than $20. I would have bought one, but I knew I would never wear it. I honestly can't squeeze another thing into my closet. I really need to put some stuff on Ebay.

I couldn't donate platelets today because my iron was too low. The phlebotomist asked me what I usually eat. Sandwiches (Texas toast, ham, cheese, lettuce, and tomato), soup (split pea and broccoli cheese), tuna, and lots of milk. I snack on raw carrots. That's pretty much it. She told me to eat more red meat and to lay off the calcium. WTF? Kiss my assssssss, lady. I don't mind eating a steak now and then, but I'm not giving up milk and calcium fortified orange juice. I have a bottle of iron supplements. I just keep forgetting to take them every day.

One time I picked up a bottle of ginko biloba because it's supposed to help your memory. I had it on my desk at work and I still couldn't remember to take it every day. Ha.

Why should they care about iron levels if they're just taking platelets?
In fact, a bit of poking around on the web shows that iron-deficient people have "mild-moderate" _increase_ in platelets. I haven't found why.

remember what happened to me when I was taking those iron pills. I st**ked myself and pointed magnetic north. Also when I went to the loo... it sounded like my robot on the potty drawing.
