Contemplating of Donating

While looking for ways to make cash.
I got an idea from my smart wifey Ash. 
She learned of donating my plasma. 
Which might make meds for asthma. 
So looking into it I really was a skeptic. 
Wanted to avoid risks of seeing a medic. 
But I learned I keep most of my red cells. 
The places are clean without odd smells. 
So I gave it a shot and got screened. 
My confidence in this was redeemed. 
No one felt the needles and screamed. 
It wasn’t as sketchy as it first seemed. 
People here appear calm and relaxed. 
Not coming across emotionally taxed. 
We clenched fists to help machines pump. 
Giving a lifesaving plasma supply a bump. 
These phlebotomists are a friendly group. 
The local CSL team operates like a troop. 
Making the process as smooth as can be.  
Donating is a relaxing experience for me. 
The cash covers a few expenses these days. And soending a few hours here weekly pays. 
If you can give blood this is a better option. 
But only for those who follow their caution. 
So check out your CSL to see for yourself. 
If your donation experience feels top shelf.
