For a few years before the pandemic, I had thought a lot about starting to donate blood as often as I could. I had never donated in the past, mostly because I don’t like needles, but it seemed like an easy thing to do to help people out. Finally, toward the end of 2019, I got fed up with going back and forth about it in my head and just made an appointment with Red Cross. Once I got over that hump, I’ve never looked back, making quarterly visits every year since. With an appointment scheduled for later this afternoon, this song by Russian Circles is one of many that have been on my mind.
