I am aware that I am less than some people prefer me to be,
but most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see.

May Daze

The gang's all here.
Admittingly bored of this social distancing thing.

I've been missing soccer, so when my team ran a charity sale, I ordered a shirt. It's the most comfortable shirt I've ever owned, so I'm happy. And they gave a percentage to Feeding America, which makes me even happier. ¡Vamos!


I finally took some supplies out of storage and made coasters. They turned out great! As always, there are more art (and food) photos on Instagram @ ugottafriend.

I haven't felt well at all this month, but I got up one day, attempted to look human, and went to donate blood. Everything went as planned...until I left the facility. I drove five minutes to a taco shop, and passed out while trying to pay. They handled it very well, and after some recovery time in their restaurant with snacks and drinks, I was accompanied to my car and I made it home in one piece. I am so grateful that didn't happen while I was driving, and also grateful I didn't end up in the ER. Thanks especially to a young man named Marcos who assisted me the entire time. He was very patient and kind, and didn't hesitate to help me in spite of social distancing orders. It was upsetting and embarrassing, and dangerous, needless to say. I'll have to stop donating blood, sadly.

I do have more to talk about before the end of the month. I don't feel it's appropriate to cram it all into one entry, so other posts are coming up.
