...Brandi Glanville.
Now. I did not know who Brandi Glanville is until just today, but yesterday I learned a friend of mine recently obtained a lemontree bush that she has named Yolanda, and because of that I asked her to help me come up with a similarly fitting name for the apricot tree. Some of you will know the origins of these names and will be rightly amused. If I watched television I might have watched an episode or two of this all, but I don't own a TV or watch much television.
Anyway. Brandi has now been banished to the backyard. I'll put her in the garage overnight, since we're expecting freezing temperatures again.

I woke up in the middle of the night last night, and in spite of closing off the front porch and running air filters, I could hardly breathe due to the pollen allergies. This is the worst I've ever had them. I'd only had the air filters running on low, so I cranked them both up and thereby managed to get a bit more sleep before my alarm went off.
But this situation is clearly not sustainable.
I do like apricots, but I'm apparently too allergic to apricot pollen to keep a tree indoors. Who knew?
Other than that, we held our 5k run/walk event today! It was a big success! The weather was rather cold, but clear, so we didn't send out any rowers but the runners all showed up and had a great time. And I am relieved to be finished with planning for this one for the year.
I didn't take many photos on account of being busy with organizational projects, but we had some fun moments, like with the creation of the next round of motivational posters:

And now on account of it all, I am flopping around in a useless heap.
