Apparently I have more than earned a cookie today. Waking up on the floor of a bloodmobile with Frankenstein and his wife hovering over me is not likely to make it onto the highlight reel of my life. To make matters worse, as I was flat on the floor being nursed back to my senses by that duo, the man of the hour decided to show up and laughed heartily at my discomfort through those shiny white fake teeth. Afterwards, he commented about how well things seemed to be going, grabbed something to eat, and disappeared. He didn’t even bother to donate any blood.

To be clear, I never expected him to do so on his own, that’s why I prepared the ambush. Of course the story of my life would dictate that I actually ambushed myself. I should have known better, really. Has anything ever gone the way I planned?

Nevertheless, I was able to hone up on my public speaking abilities and appeared on the Channel 6 news. Not bad for one day’s work.

Audrey followed me out of the bloodmobile like a groundhog chasing a shadow, but after a couple hours I was finally able to ditch her. Her dad called a little while ago and asked her to run an errand. She wanted me to go with her, of course, but Cooper told her I was too busy. The first good thing Cooper has ever done for me, giving me a little extra time to enjoy myself today. He certainly didn’t do it intentionally, though.

There were also the tree frogs, which I like tremendously, but those were just some kind of weird bribe. And I guess in truth he was responsible for introducing me to that delightful hunk Max…

Okay, I reluctantly admit that knowing Cooper has had a couple slight perks.

We’ve had a steady stream of people all day, which indicates to me that the event has been a success. We’ll have a meeting after the event to find out the results, but having a large crowd is certainly a positive sign. As for me, I’ve been a jack of all trades. I assisted the magician for a while and helped grill some hamburgers early in the afternoon. There were a couple slight incidents to deal with, but none of them turned into full-blown problems. All in all, I would say I’ve had a fun afternoon.

Right now, I’m volunteering next to the donor sign-in area, watching people walk by. A few have come in full costume, which has been interesting. One guy was dressed as a giant baby, and two girls came dressed as Little Bo Peep and her sheep. Some of the little kids wore funny headbands with ears or antennae on them.

“Look, Mommy,” a little girl sporting brown pigtails says, pointing up at me. “It’s the lady from TV.”

“Yes, it is,” her mom agrees with a smile, heading into the donor area. The little girl chances another peek over her shoulder, and I wave.

“Maddie!” I hear someone yell.
