A little bit more about what's going on on my end, so things make a bit more sense.
You know my car had catastrophic engine failure in NC during my "vacation". Since then, gf and I have been using a rental pickup truck provided by Kia. But we found that we could not get much done because she wasn't allowed to drive it, which meant that I was forced to act as her chauffer two days a week, in order that she could get sufficient inventory for her reseller business, which completely killed those two days for me to be productive. Yesterday we managed to get them to agree to put her on the rental contract, so that is no longer an issue.
The other issues I have been dealing with are resistance to UMS v2 S4 and my lungs. The former has been making it very hard for me to be productive because the attack has been on my ability to focus, my motivation and even my ability to remember that I am supposed to be working, and what I am working on. Very effective until I realized what was happening, but still it killed a week of my time.
The final thing that has been snarling my efforts has been my lungs. If you're not familiar with the situation, my lungs are extremely sensitive to various things and become irritated by them, which causes them to produce phlegm and that causes me to cough a lot. In an effort to keep this to a minimum, I have packed up my perfumery lab, run a robot vacuum with HEPA filter every day and I also have an air purifier in my office and bedroom.
But in spite of all that, I still have to deal with two major issues that are working against me. The first is my cat, who sheds like he's going balder than I am, and the second is my gf makes her living reselling clothes she finds at resale shops. Those resale shops have a lot of dust and dander in them, and they set off my lungs very badly. I can't go in them, and whenever she has the clothes she's bought from them in the car or the room I am in, my lungs go crazy. Normally this isn't an issue because she keeps everything in her office and keeps the door shut, but the other day she needed help building a new shelving unit, and apparently the process of cleaning that room and vaccuming it so I could survive long enough to help covered her in those allergens, and then when she went to bed she got them on the comforter on our bed.
Long story short, for several nights now I have been unable to sleep in my own bed because I could not stop coughing. In fact I have been unable to sleep at all, because not only did it cause me to constantly cough regardless of everything else I was doing to mitigate it, but it also pissed me off so much I could not sleep even when I went to sleep on the couch instead. So it's been several days of sleep deprivation on top of everything else.
Now that we know what caused it, we have washed the bed clothes, but for whatever reason, that wasn't enough, and last night I still found myself laying in bed, lungs too irritated to stop coughing. In desperation, I tried nebulizing 5 mL of high strength colloidal silver, and that did the trick. I finally got to sleep. So either I need to wash my lungs this way, or I have a lung infection. But lung infection doesn't make sense, because it only happens under specific circumstances during the day.
I don't care what it is, as long as nebulizing continues to work. I finally got a full night's sleep, and I finally don't have to drive gf around because of that stupid contract. Now that I know what my subconscious was doing, I can work against it. So now we have a green light. And I'm off to work.
The combination of these things has been a perfect storm, and it had me frazzled to the end of my rope. Hopefully now I can get something accomplished.
