When first things are put first, second things are not suppressed but increased.” CS LEWIS

**New Word Alert: USE-UPPANCE 1. noun. the concept of using up something, accompanied by a very wonderful accomplished feeling, "it is finished" ex: Look at this use-uppance, she declared as she poured out the rest of the orange juice into a small glass for her sister to drink, making room for the new groceries at just the right time.
2. verb. to practice use-uppance, ex: Watch me use-uppance this toothpaste!
3. Remember that day that was very use-uppance-y? We finished the leftovers, cleared out the cabinets of ingredients, and took out all the Goodwill donations in one day!
