Start Again Tomorrow

Today has included a poorly bear, a blocked toilet, continuing (although lessening) ants, a HUGE bundle of paperwork for bear's school next year and noticing brick efflorescence where the tiles and plaster came off from behind the cooker. 

This is not my wall this is a picture taken by UserMattes and released into the public domain.  Mine does not look as good

It's okay to google.  It's just salts leaching out of bricks due to damp.  I have no idea what to do.  I'm starting off by trying to dry out my kitchen.  The kitchen, however, is getting regularly dampened by being sprayed with 50/50 white vinegar and water with cinnamon added.  

I'm starting again tomorrow.
