Helping host a Superb Owl party. I hope the person responsible for ensuring we can actually watch the game has completed their assignment. #frogposting

Right now something needs to move and I'm not sure where to apply pressure. Dealing with large, opaque institutions is a disempowering experience, especially when the point of contact doesn't seem to understand your concerns.

Cute frogs are often caught in the act of being cute.

I was up way too late. What was I doing? Writing. Writing stupid fanfiction simply because I was inspired with an idea from someone else's fanfiction. It's like recursive fanfiction. Pretty sad. #frogposting

Cute frogs are exponentially cuter when stacked.

Last night, the meeting I thought would be stressful wasn't. Everything went smooth and there wasn't any major debate over the tough topics because I had done my homework and presented things in a clear and convincing manner.
Yay, cooperation!

I kind of procrastinated yesterday so now I have a bunch of stuff to get done today. As much as I may complain about work, it is mostly self-inflicted.

Can I get back into routine this week? After so many disruptions (both good and bad) the past couple months, I am really longing for a regular ebb and flow of a schedule. #frogposting

This cute frog is calm and confident. She knows that you have no way to prove anything and that she's going to get away with it.

I survived all the fun yesterday. Sometimes fundraising activities are a little exhausting, but I did my part. I also ate way too many cookies.

cute frog contemplates his next meal. I am not sure he is making a good choice because slugs are usually unpalatable.

Two different events today. One provides breakfast and lunch, the other is a fundraiser dinner. We're running around eating today, I guess.

why does everyone need my attention all at once? I'm doing great in a meeting and suddenly three different people need me all at the same time for different projects, and somehow I have to work all three asks in before I drive into the main office for a meeting.

A happy spotted frog sits in a teacup and appears to be smiling.  The meme is captioned, β€œI choose joy motherf#(%&$”.  Don’t give the jerks the satisfaction of tearing you down.  I’m trying to work hard to try to bring more good energy into the world. There’s enough bad stuff to deal with, they cannot steal my joy.  So maybe some of my joy might be fantasizing about punching some of them in the face. I’m working on malicious kindness.   I’m going to throw around things like respect, kindness, and empathy. Just not to fascists.

Sometimes, making memes cheers me up. A friend today reminded me that joy is a great form of resistance.

I forgot to do something yesterday. Actually, I blew off something completely different but if I hadn't, I would have remembered the thing I forgot because it is on the way.
Oh well. I'll make a special trip out today.

Woke up this morning realizing I forgot to take a pill I need to take before bed. Then I realized I hadn't taken any medications yesterday. Oops. That's why I was feeling so gross yesterday and didn't feel rested this morning. I've been struggling to get back into routine recently.

Brain feeling smooth. Trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be actually doing at work. I might have to actually ask someone but then they'll know I don't know what I'm doing.

I'm still doing okay. Sorry about any false alarms. We went out to breakfast and then I got busy doing some accounting stuff this morning.
Frog with hat as an apology.

this cute tomato frog is grumpy. Very grumpy. So grumpy they are cute. Ok, they'd be cute even if they weren't grumpy, but you get what I mean.

Just a few simple tasks to do today (laundry, dishes, shopping, a little picking up) and a nice dinner with friends. Let's see if I can relax. Yay! I did have a nice walk and got coffee already, so off to a good start.

Fat and happy cute frog. It is a pixie frog. They are fat. They are smiling because they know how fat they are and are comfortable with their body.

Yay! Yesterday worked out pretty well and today should be the same as long as nobody upsets my scheduling Jenga tower.
Fingers crossed.
I need to make some phone calls this afternoon, so I have to spend the morning building energy for that.

Trucks and SUVs don't have to follow fuel efficiency and safety standards of ordinary cars due to intentional regulatory loopholes. Over decades, this has skewed the US car market to ever larger vehicles because they represent the largest profit margin for the manufacturers... and oil companies.

I have a precariously balanced schedule today that I know someone is going to mess up. But if it works, I'll be in good shape. Just got to get through today and the rest of the week should go smoother.

Something I thought would be hard turned out to be super easy. Now I'm going to relax a little bit. Of course, I still have a big meeting this evening. And two big meetings tomorrow, and a time crunch of some things that need to be done by Wednesday.

Someone asked what I was reading - it was a collection of folktales from the tribes of the region. They then told me about how they were reading the VP's autobiography. I was amused that we were both reading myths our respective peoples but I didn't tell them that.
