My brother needs a hobby or to be a vampire so I can take the invite back.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Congrats on being done with the apartment, Burrell! That's huge.
We did some purging and redecorating, not entirely planned, but what's done is done.
I am a big believer in supporting other people who are better at tasks than I am. Seamstress, repair, graphic design, some kinds of cleaning. I prefer to spend my time doing what I'm good at and hope that others pay me for my expertise!

to be a vampire so I can take the invite back.
It is one way to keep people away from you, but awkward to arrange. "Look, I's tired of my brother just dropping in whenever he wants, can't you do something about it?"

Brava, Burrell! I know it's been hard.
So much TCB! An extra day really does help.
I feel stupid: what does TCB stand for? I know it means "onerous tasks", but what does the acronym mean?
I was not very onerous today. Walked the dogs, picked up Dad, went to a lovely brunch for my niece's 25th birthday, at which we had an honest-to-god pinata that my SIL had made. My younger niece is a star softball player, and when she hit the pinata the candy inside sprayed all over the yard. So fun.
Then I handed off Dad's dog to my brother (I hope they adjust okay!), took Dad home, went home, bought milk & kale, took a nap, went climbing, came home, ate a kale salad, & watched some SG-1. ("1969", so awesome.)
And now, sadly, my weekend is over. But today was a good day. And my oldest friend is going to be in town for two weeks starting next Monday, so we get to play.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
TCB = Taking Care of Business.
It was on Elvis' belt buckle, and that's what the backup singers are singing behind Aretha on "Respect": "Take Care / TCB!"

Excellent! I should have guessed that, but I was stuck on fitting onerousness into it.

Thanks folks! I'm trying to give myself pats for finishing it.

Harrumph. I understand why some places don't allow pictures with flash, because it can damage things, but places that don't allow pictures at all annoy me.

I'm up. Coffee and then start scrubbing, run to hardware and grocery. And it is supposed to be stupid hot again. And my mosquito bites itch.

Well out of three things yesterday, I managed one--to make the pound cake. Oh well. I have plenty of time on my hands for cleaning and whatnot today.
