is all of the text on that burnt sienna background? that's awesome, if so. very primordial.

yep. it's all red, white, and black. for an otherwise purely informative series nonfiction book about cavepeople, it's remarkably arty!

marek, our protagonist caveman, is wearing a bear pelt/corpse in that illustration btw

Make it so everyone must wear a clever hat on Tuesdays.

"Socks must match, except on alternating Thursdays, when socks are prohibited."

T-shirts strictly forbidden, unless they bear the logo of 1) the library or 2) Big Johnson.

It would be wonderful to make the policy extremely convoluted and absurd. Though I guess technically it's not a policy but a clarification of a policy.

things i need to do, but cannot manage to do so far yet today:

-- laundry
-- produce market shopping
-- washing the dog
-- changing out of my head-to-toe green loungewear outfit
-- going outside
-- combing my hair

I did manage to take a shower and eat lunch.

i look like a tired snowpea.

I haven't combed my hair today either. Or gone outside or done laundry but tbf I didn't have very high aspirations today re: activity.

Fixing to make a roast chicken, sweet potatoes, and collards, though.
