Full of Greek Food

My parents took me to Philinos, a frankly delicious Greek restaurant on the Plateau. Did I have Greek food with Luanna yesterday? Yes. Do I care that I had it twice in a row? Absolutely not. Philinos is pricey (I am so glad my parents paid for it as a birthday present), but oh my God it was so good. Mouth-watering. We shared  entrées of calamari, roasted vegetables, and dolmakiate, and then my mother and I shared a main course of rack of lamb. Dessert was baklava and a walnut cake whose name escapes me and a Greek coffee. I will say the dessert was not the best part of the meal, and if we ever go again I am likely to skip directly to the coffee.

I am so very full, I may never walk normally again.

I slept in today until 11:30, which was absolutely delicious. Sleeping in my parents' guest bed is always something of an adventure in discomfort, because the mattress is extremely soft and therefore it tends to throw my back out of whack. Yes, I am officially Old because I throw my back out two to three times a year (old and in poor physical condition, I should specify), and at home I have a mattress that's far m0re firm as well as a nice orthotic pillow to help keep all my various joints aligned, which keeps my back from doing terrible, painful things to me. Also, the guest bedroom is hideously hot at night, for some reason. I will try cracking open the window tonight to see if that helps.
