Ah.
Yesterday, and then even more today, I noticed that the biggest matter holding me up from advancing is certainly r and s. I think it is a difference of at least 10 words per minute how much reticence I have to display in that area. My right hand gets to use so much more strength right now.

Up to 90 words per minute, and now I also suddenly have started to have a problem with typing o and yet being able to quickly make those subtle shifts with my hand..very interesting that I did not feel a problem with either until reaching these high speeds! I am going to tackle both those problems aggressively to hopefully reach 100 words per minute by next week.
I should state once again that while 90 seems pretty high, my speed that I started qwerty in was 135, so I am only back up to 66%; while I guess that is still pretty quick, it is not as if I am sitting at 90% and basically back to qwerty; I still struggle, especially to quickly put together letters in the combination that I want to without thinking consciously as I could before.

I'm finding the same approach as you worked very well. Initially I think carefully about each letter. Pretty soon I got to being able to type naturally but the moment I notice I can type quickly I confuse myself and start making mistakes. I find certain word combinations, particularly on the home row are pretty easy, so I think perhaps the typing tutorials are of some value. Again like you I only went as far as lesson 3.
