I broke and repaired my linux install. That was not fun. A lot of things are not readily apparent without the benefit of online documentation available through a graphical browser. Pacman is great, but figuring out how to resolve certain dependency conflicts without are tricky.
Also searching for a suitable usb drive, remembering chroot stuff, etc etc used up most of my mental energy. Stress + executive dysfunction + insomnia + eczema itch adds up to a lot of frustration. The sensation of knowing how to do something because you've done it before but not being able to do it because your mind and body won't cooperate is a type of frustration I really do not like.
