Kayak Morning 5/29/2025

Osprey: 5/29/2025

It's 8:45, and I've been up since 7:20, trying to help Beth with some questions about IRAs and inherited IRAs. I'm not much help on that front and usually point her toward ChatGPT.  It looks like a sunny morning ahead, turning overcast in the afternoon, with a high of 90°.

Tin Tin

Thursday was another busy day for Beth. She left for school at 8:00 to work on her classroom — getting it set for next year, securing books, and taking home what she needed before summer school students move in. So Evie and I held down the fort. I took the dogs for a 25-minute walk, and Evie tackled a mountain of laundry, both ours and Beth's. I also finally found a book I'm enjoying: November Road by Lou Berney, set in Dallas during the Kennedy assassination.

Lunch was another round of sweet potatoes, ground beef, black beans, and sweet corn — and there's enough left for today if I want it. The afternoon moved quickly. I read until Beth texted at 2:30 asking for a pickup; the school is only a mile away, which is handy. We watched another episode of Landman — one Beth had missed — and I took the dogs out again, though we kept it short since the heat had both of them laboring.

Watching Landman With The Pups

Earlier in the afternoon, Evie had put together a pasta sauce with eggplant, so dinner practically took care of itself — just boil the noodles and throw together a salad. We had a glass or two of wine beforehand, then ate and watched a couple more episodes of Landman. We have one left for tonight. I also caught some of the NBA game — the Spurs thoroughly dismantled the Thunder, which I enjoyed. By the end of the evening, I was happy to climb into bed and get back to my book before drifting off to sleep.
