Good morning! I'm up and dressed for success. Meaning I have workout gear on to encourage me to get out and take my walk. I'm not doing my little mountain like my regular Tuesday. My legs are not great. MRI says I have a horizontal tear on my left meniscus. First available appt with the doc is December 28. So I'll baby it a tiny bit on bad days. My obliques and abs are on fire after workout yesterday. I love knowing that I've impacted muscles. Sort of a reward for me. I'm still carrying 2 extra vacation pounds. But making great choices and have faith they are going away soon.
Today is walking, reading, cooking. We have houseguests. My daughter's sister in law and two littles. But I have to do almost nothing except keep brown dog from nipping one of them. They will be in and out and taking care of their own food needs. They'll be here until Thursday or Friday.
QoTD: Cool weather and sunshine. Fresh garden veggies. Another empty calendar day. Retirement takes a while to get the swing of, but once you do...ahhhhhhhhh
Menu
B: the last piece of Moussaka
L: leftover roasted chicken from last night. Yes Please!
D: Swedish meatballs with lingonberries and edamame pasta.
Today is Santorini! Stunning. More gorgeous than I could have imagined and this was way high on my expectations. We hiked to the top of an active volcano (and I beat everyone else!) Went to the thermal hot springs where some people went swimming and they have a tiny church as that is honoring the seas and a winery. The only thing about the winery I liked was the cheese they served. LOL. Santorini is ridiculously over run with tourist (me) and while we were there, there were over 12,700 cruise ship tourist alone. Happy to have gone and seen it on a gorgeous day, but no desire to return. (tomorrow may be the last day of updates. Less to see and do in the towns and then the unexpected turnaround!)
Peace Everybody!

That is such a fun picture of you and I love the hat! We were so lucky when we were in Santorini, it was the weekend after the cruise season had ended. Things were starting to close up for the season and the more inland hotel we were booked at decided to close early and the moved everyone to their caldera front hotel at the same cost.
Sorry about the meniscus tear, that is no fun, good for you for listening to your body and doing what you can vs possibly making it worse!

Oh no, sorry to hear about the tear! I'm sure that gets in the way of doing all the things, but I doubt it will dull your shine one bit. Beautiful pics!!!
