Composer problems, etc

artsyhonkerI'm behind on admin in several areas. This is not exactly unusual for me -- I struggle to stay on top of admin at the best of times -- but I did have two stressful deadlines within a week of each other, and met them both, and as a result a bunch of other stuff has fallen by the wayside.
I was hoping, today, to get caught up on Cecilia's List music recommendations, and make headway into the data entry backlog. I was hoping to transcribe some hymns I've written recently, and get them online, so I can get paid. I was hoping to write rough drafts of some proper blog posts, and an issue of Passing Notes, and some e-mails that are now getting overdue enough it may not be worth sending them. I was hoping to tidy up a bit.
That was way too many things to hope for.
I did manage some errands, and one Cecilia's List post (scheduled for Saturday), and my brain has decided that what it absolutely, positively must do at the moment is compose a Nunc dimittis for SSA. (Or maybe it's unison trebles and organ accompanient. I can't tell yet.)
I think it's because it's Candlemas tomorrow.
But the main problem with a Nunc dimittis is that I then, realistically, will need to write a Magnificat to go with it, and I already have way too much composing on my to-do list as well.
I suppose it's a better problem to have than the problems I would had I missed the orchestral deadline or the tax return filing deadline.
