HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONNIE!!!
I hope you have a splendid day! Many hugs!!

I'll be leaving my office in 30 minutes to donate blood. God I hate needles. My hands are sweaty. Gulp.
(As Nancy at work keeps saying: You can get your nose pierced, but you're afraid of needles?!)
Edit: Well, I ended up not donating blood. I feel like such a tool. It wasn't me that said I couldn't do it -- the nurse said I was way too shaky and nervous, and she didn't want to accidentally hurt me. I even asked her to try again, that I would try really hard to relax, but she politely said no. She was really sweet about it, and tried to tell me that there was nothing wrong with having such a phobia. I knew I was afraid of needles, but I really thought I could do it for a good cause. Then, when she started packing up the things, I started bawling and felt sick when I got back to work. I guess I was really looking forward to "doing my part" by helping out, but I just couldn't go through with it. I was pale-faced, quivering, and covered with sweat. I really need to do something about this fear...
