NoJoMo 7
Longest. Day. Ever. And still not over – I have a metric ton of laundry to fold before I can even consider going to sleep. Ugh.
Today’s NoJoMo prompt asked if I am an organ or marrow donor. The answer is yes, to both. For organs, I’ll have no use for them if I’m dead, and if they’re healthy enough for someone else to use them then I think it would be wasteful not to donate them. For marrow, I’m actually terrified of the donation process as I’ve heard it’s quite painful, but it’s something I can do for someone who might need it desperately, so I’m in the donor database and willing to donate if called upon. (I just hope they’d give me good painkillers.)
I don’t see either of these things as being especially generous. I also give blood at least twice a year, and have donated my hair to Locks of Love at least two times. I feel so fortunate to be able to do these things, as I know people who can’t. (I do think I offended a good friend of mine at Dragon*Con by mocking her when she told us she didn’t weigh enough to give blood, but fortunately she’s forgiving and she knows I’m just jealous.)
Off to tackle Mt. Laundry. Wish me luck.
Julie loves doing laundry, when she is off work, she does it everyday. She doesnt even want me to do it. She doesnt put it away though, she just leaves my stuff on the bed for me to do.

Wow that is really s wonderful thing you’re doing. Even with donating blood, so many people want to do it but are too lazy to go down and do it. Good on you. I’m impressed:)
