Like Mother, Like Daughter

I always thought that Anastasia was a lot like me, but sometimes it's spooky. A couple days ago, I went to donate my blood at the local Red Cross. They got a vein this time (unlike last time) and it worked for a while, but then it just stopped flowing. They had to give up (one fairly large bruise later). The next day, Anastasia had a doctor's appointment. Besides two vaccinations, they needed a blood draw as part of a meningitis vaccine study she is part of. They got a vein on the first try and it flowed for a while but then it stopped. Fortunately, they had enough that they didn't have to start over. Here's a picture of our matching bruises (same place on the same arm).
