I know what it is like, having established several of my own businesses.
One time I was feeling rather peculiar, very happy, very, very garrulous and
I couldn't sit down. The wife pointed out that the last time I had had any
rest at all was 36 hours previously.
I am afraid I had more than a dozen sessions like that. Very successful
businesses, massive tax bills. eventually sold up and left the country,
because the country "does not need obstreperous, careless people like me."
Other than for the taxes, of course.
Enjoy it while you can.
A Little .... un defeated.
