Ah, it's the time of year where you're wondering whether you got a(nother) cold or whether you got hay fever.

We went to the garden center yesterday and when we got there my nose start prickling and slowly I got a sore throat. The nose prickling went away when I took an allergy pill that night. The sore throat lasted, though by morning it's now merely dry and irritated. And I do have a bit of a runny nose.

It might just be another cold; I had two customers cough in my face last week. Or it might be a bit of both. I'll have to wait and see if the meds kick in properly after a couple of days.

Vacuum cleaner literally blew up. Dust everywhere!

Also got an emergency alert immediately afterwards, so it was mildly alarming to have this blaring from multiple electronics

That is annoying. But at least if you heard it, you'd know it was an alert. What was the alert for? Last alert I got was just a test.

Ah yes, working with a lot of 16 to 22 year olds. It can be fun, but some of them get riled up too easily, which others know. So there's a lot of drama between the cashiers at the moment. I'm trying my best to keep out of it. People should learn to count to ten and take deep breaths.

Just had to kill a giant ant colony on the inside (top) of a metal mailbox. Couldn't figure out why there were always a couple of ants that always came in with the mail. Then I finally crouched down and looked up into the interior of the mailbox. Heat is the only thing I can think of that might entice an ant colony to set up shop on the ceiling of a metal can.

They'll stay away from mint (and others smells, but can't recall atm; I had bees on the mailbox and finally they went away, using a remain of an essential oil: for them also mint is not on the likings - the year's fresh ones haven't grown yet). Cinnamom too is a deterrent for the ants.
