I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

They don't have to be difficult but they do have to be solvable
if one of mine isn't solved I've either written an incredibly good clue (highly unlikely) or I've written it badly

I completely agree - especially (for me) the "highly unlikely" part.

Well done - on both our counts (I even solved it too)!

Is it that time already? OK - will post shortly.
OT:
After a solo recital, the artiste was so happy and proud when a member of the audience asked for an encore. The encores went on for a while and the confused artiste asks "Do you like that piece so much, sir? The reply is "No sir, I am going to do this till you get it right!"

My wife arranged to go to the markets, then the state art gallery with 2 other families. The went well, a patch of rain at the markets, kids being kids at the art gallery. We stopped in the domain (park) opposite the art gallery to let the kids burn off the remaining energy.
So we sat down in park bench seating, eating and talking. somehow, I managed to choke on a small piece of apple. Got lodged 20cm / 7.8" down my throat. Tried a lump of bread to dislodge it with no luck. I could still breathe, so asked to go to the nearest hospital. They were fussing over who would drive me. Meanwhile, I'm involuntary dry-reaching, drooling, nose running, eyes watering, can't see anything. Then one of the mothers finally called the ambulance. 2min later, I was loaded into the ambulance and off to the hospital. All that I could think was, dam, I'm going to miss the boss events in the Diablo 4 server slam.
TL;DR: After drooling approx 1.5L / 50 ounces of saliva, they took me to surgery, knock me out, then used camera and forceps to remove a 1.7cm / 0.67" piece of apple.
Here is the best part. When I went to surgery, they bagged my clothes and my wife took my wallet home. We live over an hour from the hospital. It turns out that I had the house keys in my jacket pocket, and my wife did not take hers, so she was locked out and did not have the car keys, so ended up sleeping over a friends place. I could not get home as she had my wallet. Hospitals are slow. I saw the doctor at 10am and was ready to be discharged. I could not get out until 4pm due to "paperwork". A friend had to drive her to the hospital to collect me. So our poor pets had to wait until dinner time the following day before they could be fed.
Not just another mother's day...

That's what comes of eating your fruits and vegetables!
All's well that ends well. As long as you, your wife, the kids, and the pets are OK now...

So much for the saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away"... they should come with hazzard warnings!

So what is the plan for the Mother’s Day Makeup Extravaganza?
It will have to be bigger and better than the original.
Ice cream/gelato with no add-ins recommended for refreshments.

It's not recommended these days as it can make it far worse. The key thing in my case was that I could breathe.

You are right. I read more on the topic and it's for emergency recover from choking with air blockage.
Know it was rough, but sharing makes us smarter. Thanx.

Only recommended if the victim can't breathe.

My mother's day pales in comparison with yours, just some dirty chores like cleaning the gooseneck of the sink.
On the positive side: we had pizza!

How did they transport you in the ambulance?
On your stomach?
Sitting up?
Surely, not laying on your back?
