@LarissaW Here is the test I was talking to you about today… > **[Reticulocyte-Based Estimation of Red Blood Cell Lifespan](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4061324/)** > > We introduce a new, minimally invasive laboratory technique called REticulocyte-Based Estimation of Lifespan (REBEL) of erythrocytes in humans.

still kicking myself majorly 🙄 But I actually have heard of Bowie… from his most famous song (_that is also included in many playlists deemed “the most beautiful songs in the world”_) in this movie in 2012 😃 ---

How could you guess! Yes, it truly showed some character flaws in that I can’t say no sometimes or make myself a priority. Like I said, it all worked out, but dang 🥴 I’ll add this to my list of things to work on ---

Didn’t know that song or that movie. I kept wondering why they were still making Harry Potter movies at that age but on such a comparitively tight budget. 😂🤦‍♀️😂 ---

If you want a good dive back to teenage coming-of-age stories, the book is actually really touching and has stuck with me (much better than the movie IMO, but isn’t that how it always goes) ---

Yes Well, on the plus side - you kicking yourself is the best way to learn, and much better than me doing it. 😀 They will always take your blood. Any time. So don’t feel bad, just do it another day and you get the best of both worlds - a nice donation and also having all of your oxygen delivery still intact on race-day. Call that whole thing with the CGM placement and the previous tests “Providence”.
