pegkerr | 2026 52 Card Project: Week 9: Administration (Reply)

This was one of the weeks where the theme of this week's collage wasn't immediately obvious. I was buried in administrative projects, which included the work I'm not talking about relating the ICE Metro Surge here in Minnesota, various Things That Had to Get Done, and taxes. I checked a lot of things off my personal checklist this week, but feel stiff and logey, as I spent much too much time stuck behind a computer screen rather than being up and moving around.

Taxes are now done and filed, and I will be getting a modest return back.

As I worked on the collage during a Zoom get-together with friends today, I fretted about the collage as I assembled it. Sometimes I really like what I put together, and sometimes I'm vaguely dissatisfied. "It's boring," I complained to my friends.

"Put a dragon in it," Eleanor Arnason told me. "Dragons always make everything better."

You will notice the small brass dragon paperweight to the right of the keyboard.

A cup of coffee and a brass dragon paperweight rests on the table to the right of the keyboard. Upper half: a heap of notebooks and paperwork related to taxes cover the surface of a table.
