Master Cleanse Day 7: ZOO

Today is Labor Day and I went to the zoo with TD and my goddaughter and her parents.  I'm Buddhist, and my goddaughter's family is Buddhist, so technically it's my Buddha-daughter.

So Buddha-mother and Buddha-daughter hung out at the San Francisco Zoo today.

It was HOT in the bay area.  So we walked around while the sun pounded down on us.   I felt a little tired walking around but I wasn't sure if it was because of the heat or because of the master cleanse.

Buddha-daughter's mother is pregnant and she was also feeling the heat and tired as well.

So it wasn't just me.

Day 7 has, so far, been fine. At the zoo, my super human smell senses awakened to the many, um, "fragrances" available to one at a place where animals are kept.  The flamingo exhibit was particularly pungent for me.

We walked around and as long as I wasn't around food, I was ok.  There are a million cafes at the zoo and we walked past one that has big fat juicy burgers served with big fat juicy french fries.  There was a family going to town on the burgers and I wanted one so incredible badly in that moment.  I could smell the intoxicating oil of the fries.

But then we kept walking, and I was fine.  I did have to take a double swig of my lemonade to calm my very active tummy at that point.

Once we got home, I was tired enough to take a 30 minute nap.

I'm awake now and the neighbors are BBQ'ing and it smells divine.  TD is in the kitchen cooking dinner.  I can't wait to smell what it is!
