"And Down She Goes"

This past week has been an interesting one. There are so many things going on that it sometimes makes for a little craziness. To top it off I fainted on Friday. It was really weird. 

I started the day by donating plasma. It was my third time and so I figured why not. After I donated, I usually will eat and go to work and at work I usually simply will sit down. Friday was a little different. I didn't get to eat much after donating and work was crazy. I was walking a lot and making sure things were as they were supposed. to. Part of work on Friday was making sure that the Education in Zion tour went by smoothly and be a participant. I rushed over there and as they started I leaned against the railing. 

I locked my legs... Worst possible mistake ever. I remember that I felt a head rush that happens sometimes when I stand up too quickly. Anyways, the next thing I remember is coming to and wondering why there were people around me and why I wasn't in my room (I felt like I was sleeping). One guy thought that I had died because apparently when I fainted my eyes were still open. I of course saw nothing though. 

I am so grateful that one of my friends was there and was able to help me get re-situated. I am also grateful that everyone that was there was super friendly and so willing to help. I am also grateful that my boss had decided to go home early and so she was able to drive me home. 

I have now been forbidden to donate plasma by my wonderful fiance, Preston. I am grateful that he is always so concerned about me and has my best interest in mind. I love him so much. I am hoping that the stress of the end of the semester along with all the changes that will be occurring doesn't induce any more fainting spells. I hope that this was simply a one time thing.
