WIKTORY!

Today I have succeeded in giving blood. That makes the fourth time this year, which, allowing for broken ankles1, inevitable human frailty2, and uncooperative hemoglobin3, feels like a very satisfying achievement.

I may not achieve anything else today, but by gum, I donated blood.

1Say it with me, ankle you are very stupid.
2Remembering the appointment, but forgetting what day it was.
3Last month, I went, but could not get a hemoglobin count above 12. Today, the first stick got a 12.4, and when we tried again, it came up an entire point. Baffled, but not arguing.
