New Chairs, Grants, and Finding Time/Energy to Write

My department has chosen and new chair (I was at the meeting where this happened), but for some reason, the decision has not been announced. Not sure why, because Dr. New Chair Candidate had already been asked if he was willing to take the job if offered.

Last week, I got an organization to commit to some research for which I'm writing a grant. One of the grants advisors at my university had told me that not having an organization already on board might be a "fatal flaw" so I have that taken care of, and I'm ready to revise this application a few times and send it off.

I feel like I'm right at the point where my writing is starting to suffer because I'm overcommitted. Until now, I think I've convinced myself that wasn't true (and maybe it really wasn't), but I think I'm teetering on the edge at this point.
