Wow, that sounds like a remarkable amount of music drama.

My life is also measured by to-do lists right now. But hey, at least I wrote 400 words of Yuletide fic yesterday, and am working on it right now, too.

Ooooh, I love this post! It made me snicker, particularly the Yuletide stats.

Oh, you have my sympathies. And I'm glad you're enjoying the season. :D

Good luck with the manifold juggling!

Oh, dear! Sympathies on the drama, and fingers crossed for all the things to fall into all the right places.
