9-gallon donation achieved!

:D :D :D For a second there I was a little worried it wasn't going to happen, but a few seconds of readjustment later (I will not go into details, but I have few to begin with, as I wasn't the one futzing with the needle) I was good to go. I'm definitely developing a slight bruise, but that's nothing I didn't expect, after the need for an adjustment. And hey, if it's a choice between someone dying for lack of platelets or me having a minor mark at my elbow bend for a few days? No question. None.

Onward to first the shower, and then the theater! Hamilton at the Overture, eeeeee! I may just be biased toward local venues, but I have a suspicion I may enjoy this performance even more than when I saw Hamilton in Chicago. To be frank, the acoustics in Chicago were not the greatest, and the Overture's are fantastic, so. I hope tonight's show will be dedicated to Sandra Gajic. That link is to an article noting the death of Overture's first female CEO.
