It's been a good day. I got two pages written this morning on a short story, and I came into work to find out I'm getting a slight raise and paid vacations/sick days as of next year.
This will mostly offset the fact that I now have student loans to pay back, so money's not going to be quite as tight as I expected.
Yesterday, I managed to get about 80% of my Yule shopping done.
(I like that the city's three independent English bookstores, one quasi-independent, and two big Canadian-based chain bookstores are all within a ten-block radius -- the Argo-Concordia-McGill-Paragraphe-Indigo-Chapters hexagram, if you will. With books, I'm able to cover the majority of my friends.)
After that, I had a lovely evening at
foi_nefaste's, who, as usual, was able to conjure a great meal (especially the apple crumble) ^_^
