Deferral Blues & Sunset Pinks

It was a rough couple of days, with a big annual payroll update and tight deadline at work leaving me a little bit light on sleep. Then I had a scheduled blood donation at the Red Cross, but my hemoglobin level was unexpectedly low and I was deferred from donating today. Doing some searching on the internet about what that means and what could be causing it and how to solve it for now and prevent it for the future just left me depressed and slightly alarmed. I’ll think about it more some other day. But I was not a happy camper.

So while The Long-Suffering Wife went through with her blood donation, I ran to the office (literally, directly across the street) to take care of a quick IT task, and in the process was treated to a delightful, cotton candy pink sunset as the coastal fog and clouds were rolling in.

So, not a complete bust! (I especially like that last picture!)
