1. My freezer is clean and organized. Now that I know where everything is, I am finally able to accurately plan those meals for the next 39 days, those recipes that demand 3 hours of my afternoon, the ones I haven't made since I was a new bride. I am pumped & ready to braise.
2. I now know 2 completely different ways to apply my blush to nicely accent my fuller cheeks ("moonface") that have blossomed over the past two days.
3. I am talking in sentences that end. At the end. Without circling back because of some impossible bunny trail.
4. I am using 5- and 6-syllable words that I don't remember learning. I must have used them in term papers. Like, 20 years ago.
5. I am meeting lots of people. New friends, all over the place. Having deep, meaningful conversations with complete strangers. Honestly, about the best things. BECAUSE I CAN'T SEEM TO SHUT MY TRAP.
6. I'm not forgetting anything. My mind has become a steel trap. Full of everything. I'm having to remind myself to not throw out the Daytimer (yes, I still use a hard copy).
because i know this won't last...
7. I'm cleaning house while simultaneously blogging, checking off lists, reading the paper, and parenting. And I'm smiling. Because suddenly I can do it all!!!!!
8. I'm ready to conquer the whole house, throw out most of everything, and start all over. Paint and everything. Hoo-doggie!
9. I am finally right about absolutely everything! I make no errors in judgment, and everyone around me is benefiting from my sound decisions (read up on "prednisone" if this dot doesn't connect for you; honestly, this is really funny! and, obviously, are you praying for these poor people who have to live with me right now?).
10. 5:26 a.m. is an AMAZING time! So is 12:19 a.m.!
11. I'm awake for my quiet times in the morning! No more dozing off before coffee!
Seriously, though. Seriously.
I'm thankful that God kindly placed me in history when I could have the advantage of a medicine that has helped knock back a really ugly case of eczema.
But I'm hoping, praying, that this is the end. In about 5 more days. Because the list of the "bads" really does outweigh the "goods."

Wow. Where do I sign up for some of this wonder-drug? :) If only they could come up with one that would give you all the positive effects without all the negative ones... well, every mom on the planet would be an addict! :)
Honestly, you don't want this stuff! This tongue-in-cheek post was my attempt at trying to be light about something I hope to never have to take again!
I remain thankful for its benefits, though! And yes, it would be nice to have the few good effects alone!
