Self-inflicted I’m afraid. Homework not being done on multiple occasions.

I’ll handle the cat and the whiskey. Someone else can take care of the bond.

Argh… I’ve had a headache building all day and now at a point where my one eye is watering as a result of the “pressure”. Took two Mypaid Forte which seems to have ibuprofen so that should help.

I’d like to punt something somewhat related. Today I registered as a Stem Cell donor with DKMS (formerly known as the Sunflower Fund). Specifically I am registered for blood-stem-cell donation to help treat leukaemia globally.

It literally takes 5 minutes to register. They will ship a swab kit to you. You swab the inside of your cheek and they collect the swab kit again. You then get added to the global database.

I learnt about DKMS and the Stem Cell donation registry through a News24 article about a young girl in Durban who has leukaemia and they can’t find a donor for her on the global registry. This is because black, coloured and Indian populations are severely underrepresented in the registries worldwide.

I may not be able to help her, but I might be able to help someone else someday. The link is below. Please consider registering, and while you are at it, consider signing up to be a bone marrow donor and organ donor as well.

Happy Saturday, everyone!

Here’s the link to the SABMR (South African Bone Marrow Registry). Similar process - you register, they send you a swab kit, you send it back.
