Okay, so today we made the sensible decision to go for quality over speed - we're going to submit our proposal for the July 5 deadline, not the March 5 deadline. This should improve both the quality of the proposal and the quality of my life for the month of February. It would have been nice to have it "done" and be free to do other things after March 5, and it would have been nice to have at least some chance of funding before April 2019, but I suspect we'll have a much better chance of funding this way.
(I have plenty of work to keep me busy whether I'm funded or not, but I hope I can figure out how to get some income for it!)
