1. School has been crawling with germs, and it seems they’re catching up with me.

2. The not really unexpected but still crappy news that came my way last night, totally bumming me out.

3. Ants. I don’t really feel like going into more detail on that one, but ant traps have been purchased. Argh.

4. Fourth place in the Biggest Loser contest. Not that I’m surprised…but getting so close made me want to taste victory!

5. Hrm. I thought there was more, but I can’t remember.

Oh well. Off to drink lots of fluid, take lots of vitamins. and try to rest as much as I can. Bah.

Ants: call a professional exterminator *now*.

I purchased many different kinds of over-the-counter ant traps and other remedies, and still had ant problems for years. Then I called a professional exterminator and all ant problems *vanished* instantly. And he only sprayed *outside*, he never even saw the inside of the house.

There is a certain type of poison the pros can use which can't be sold over the counter. Despite claims that the OTC products make about the workers carrying the poison back to the queen, their products essentially do nothing but briefly reduce the ant activity where you use them. Only the professional exterminators can use the stuff that truly kills the entire colony.
