In the last 3 hours I have:

- gleefully demanded my husband bring me tribute in the form of chicken fingers

- agreed to run a 5K (in the fall) with a friend who’s never done a race before.

- figured since I’ll be feeling better (?) I might as well also run the half marathon the next day

- signed up to join the Crohn’s/Colitis Team Challenge/ Wear Orange so I can fundraise for the aforementioned races

- finished all my work 2 hours early

- begun cleaning my living room

Pred usually makes me feel like hot garbage and I have heretofore never experienced the mania. I don’t know if it’s all the pred or if I have just been feeling so terrible for so long that feeling slightly less bad seems magical. Either way, there are squirrels in my brain and I am now a Highly Motivated Individual.

Reorganized the file cabinet; all new color folders
Shopping, shopping
Snacks all day: peanut butter chocolate ice cream, lime tortillas chips, smoked salmon
Asleep at 11pm, awake at 1am

😂 I think I’m out. I crashed hard at 11pm last night and spent most of the remainder up and pooping. But I’ll keep you both in mind once it really kicks in or if we up my dosage.
