On the safari, the first one came about a foot from the jeep. Some of them stayed further away but for the most part they are curious. According to our guide, elephants and primate seem To be the only animals that realize there is something inside the jeeps.

Keen has got to be all kinda proud and happy that you committed so much of yourself to be able to do these adventures. I get so disappointed when there is something I really want to do then have to do it solo because Ron just can't do it. You guys are a great team.

Good Morning Queen JB and Menuers,
Sorry about the knee JB. Hope it feels better soon and it is one of the appointments you made the other day. Yeah, Friday and the weekend is looking good. We got a Pig roast tomorrow and I was asked to do desserts, so I did a cinnamon and pumpkin cheesecake, and I made stuffed carrot cake cookies. Even better it is dog friendly, so Rudy is getting to join us. He's so freaking cute I cannot stand it. Work has been very ruff lately. The system is going down every couple hours and I didn't get all my orders in yesterday. This has to be quick so I can catch up. I also need to run to Walmart at lunch because I have coupons that are going to expire, and I am thinking of switching to SF Pumpkin spice creamer. I wanted to wait till after Labor Day.

G'morning all!
JB - I hope you reunite with Grim soon. Our Luna does the same, whoever is not in bed, she takes their place and then gives daggers when the person wants to get in bed.
Day 1, first stop was at Lake Humantay, elevation 13,000 feet. Beautiful water and if you are crazy enough to be there at sunrise you see all kinds of colors.
Our first night camp was in a glass igloo, with hobbit size door. The view from the igloo at night was breathtaking.
QOTD: I don't like scary movies, so I try to avoid them. Freddy what's-his-name really scared me. Jaws, especially living by the ocean, really affected me.
My meals yesterday:
- Coffee
- TJ kebabs + yogurt dip
- Jello
- Protein Icecream - cookies and cream
- E: strength training
Happy Fri-yay!

My knee will just decide it is going to ache once in a while. I have Voltaren cream and Biofreeze. Both help. But the Voltaran is NSAID so only if totally desperate for relief. Even an ice pack will sometimes work like magic. Hope yours calms down.
It amazes me how a cat can seem to grow to twice its size when it sprawls out in bed. I used to keep a special blanket on the bedspread during the day to catch some of the fur.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends

Wow - I love elephants! How close were you able to get? I imagine they would be very aware and weary? Or are they used to us?

Awwww so glad Grim will be back tomorrow. And I'm sure the cats will let him back in bed solely because he is the ham purveyor LOL.
Jen, what beautiful pics! Wow! All of your trip pics have been otherworldly.
Q: I don't like scary movies. Side note, this isn't scary but it's not my normal genre, however I am binging "The Perfect Couple" on Netflix and it's sooooo good.
I have been lurking and not posting. I've been traveling for five weeks. My mom needed some ad hoc help so I'm in NC last minute. But the biggest news is that my partner and I are parting ways. It's a good thing! No condolences needed, I promise. The sad part is of course the kids, and the busy part is finding a place to move in the next 55 days. So I'll probably be here sporadically until I get my new life in gear!
Julia, I'm with you on the Wegovy! I did my **** Tuesday and Tuesday I ate half a bagel with cream cheese (airport), and a scoop of tuna. Wednesday was tuna for breakfast, a hard boiled egg in the afternoon, and crab for dinner with two bites of noodles. Yesterday was leftover crab, two hard pretzels, a hard boiled egg, and then I did succumb to 3/4 piece of pizza at night. But still! It's a miracle drug.
Todays eats: the last of the crab, 1 piece of pizza, a hard boiled egg, and rotisserie chicken if I need more food!
Have a wonderful weekend all!

Good morning ~ I'm off work today - yay! I am totally going to enjoy every minute. I started by getting up at the usual time, thanks to our kitty who doesn't care that I have the day off. I've done my time on the treadmill and had 3 cups of coffee and it's just 4:30am. I'm about to head to the donut place and surprise Rob for breakfast. Where did this energy come from? I have a facial later this morning, grocery shopping, errands and finally pulling the trigger on new living room furniture.
QOTD - I love scary movies!! I couldn'****ch any of it growing up or until I met Rob because I was scared to death!! Now nothing scares me and I love them. I'm partial to campy Stephen King, and the oldies from the 80's like Halloween, but throw in some Conjuring series, Orphan, Mama, weird stuff like that and you have me.
Accountability - ALL the sushi - I was a bottomless pit! I can usually only eat about 1/3 of this meal before a full-stop. Yesterday? I literally cleaned the plate and never felt full - heaven. 47 active minutes and 8,442 steps. Today I am 169.4 with 30 minutes done on the treadmill.
B- coffee, zero carb tortilla w/light cream cheese and EBB, protein shake
l - TBD
d- BBQ chicken and salsa leftovers
s -no more treats - you're done. Eat fruit.

Good morning and yay for Friday!
Busy day ahead, 3.5 hour sales pitch that starts at 6 am my time and then back to back 30 minute meetings until I wrap up. I will be so ready to log off...I also think I need to do a presentation that's due tonight too but that might get done tomorrow early. I do have a fun weekend ahead, dinner and a concert tomorrow and a massage on Sunday, I will go to the correct place this time! I also thought about going to see a group I really like as they are doing a free concert tonight at a park across town but it's across town and I'm pretty sure I want to do anything after the work day ahead...but we will see.
QOTD - I don't know if I have a favorite, I don't really re-watch scary ones, once you know what's coming you know what's coming. My bestie and I were absolutely terrified by The Ring when we watched it though.
menu today
all the coffee with half an half! all of it.
greek yogurt
cheese
RGF chicken strips
glass of wine (maybe 2)
L&F pumpkin pie
Pictures today are of elephants! Elephants are amazing. I have a great 2 minute video of an elephant eating, they are very smart.
