Blipmeet

I met Lisa for the first time when she was visiting my friend Tobi and Tobi brought her to Pilates class. We moved on after class, as is our wont, to Acre coffee where, in the course of chatting and getting acquainted I managed to persuade Lisa to join Blipfoto. You can check out her journal here.

We did a repeat performance of Pilates and coffee today, with the added pleasure of having dinner together last night. I know...I cheated, as this picture was taken by OilMan yesterday, but it is pouring with rain today and I thought it would be far nicer to meet these lovely  ladies than see yet another picture of Ozzie. As many of us have commented before, meeting a fellow Bliper is like meeting an old friend. We know all about them, or at least whatever they're willing to share with the world, and we can begin without a lot of small talk. It was a great pleasure to get together again.

I am slowly recovering from the mystery rash. It still itches, but less relentlessly, so now I am concentrating on recovering from the effects of the prednisone. I believe that I have heard of steroids as causing an unlikely combination of a raging metabolism and total exhaustion in some people. It is also a testament to the idea that we react  (or overreact) to the effects of drugs as we get older. I certainly wouldn't consider it as a way to improve athletic performance. Five more days of a tapering dose should see me through and then I can concentrate on repairing synapses and dragging my brain cells back into some sort of cooperation with my body.  Note to self: It's probably not a good idea to combine prednisone and caffeine....
