It's Disneyland! It's Christmas! It's an Antiobiotic!

To the tune of "It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!" Basically, I have not been so excited for something for quite some time. What is this excitement about? Antibiotics and steroid creams. You might ask why that would be exciting. Let me tell you (those of you who are sensitive may want to skip this....). I have recently acquired a skin disease (called dishydrotic eczcema) where your body leaks protein out of raised bumps on your hands and feet. And they crack and bleed and are super gross. And then it spreads, and you totally look like a leper. And then it gets worse and worse, and then there's a bacterial infection too, and you can no longer move your fingers because they're so full of nasty crap, and every movement is painful, and life is horrible. And so then, after years and months and decades of agony, you get prescriptions for it. And I have not been so excited for a long time. And not just like, "Finally, this stuff will go away," but like, "Glory be and oh joy! I get to start my medication tomorrow! :D" And that's how I've been feeling. Taking pills has never been accompanied by so many smiles...
