The pump is the same as it has been. No news to report.

Yesterday was a phenomenal day for finances.
My student loan money was transferred in, my dance school pay cheque came in, AND my double pay cheque from the school came in (November is the month where we get the year's lump sum of vacation pay and pay increase settlement). Long story short, my bank account looks very happy.
Don't worry, it's just temporary! I will be buying my macbook soon.. I almost just bought it on a whim, but I'll put it off for another little while.
