The combination of a broken foot, bad pollen allergy and having had a root canal is really getting to me. So tired.

Traditionally I am not one who suffers from seasonal allergies too much. I get a little bit of a reaction now and then, but generally speaking it’s not a problem for me.

I am working from home today and I have the windows in the room open. The landscapers came and mowed the lawn a few hours ago. Ever since I have been in mild allergy land. The lawn mower must have kicked up a few gigatons of pollen and shot it right through my open window right into my nose. I’ve been sneezing and coughing and my eyes are itchy and my throat is scratchy and my nose is running.

Stupid pollen. Stupid, stupid pollen.

Amid efforts to mitigate pollen allergies by reducing the number of cedar trees in Japan, the government faces significant obstacles due to a persistent labor shortage and tepid demand for timber. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/05/02/japan/science-health/japan-ceder-logging-for-pollen-countermeasures/ #japan #sciencehealth #pollenallergy #allergies #forests
