Update

So, for much of the past week, I have been in the rather awkward situation of trying to complete a sadfic even as developments in my personal life have lead to me feeling more happy and contented than I've felt for years. It can be surprisingly difficult to approach a subject with a somber tone when reality is doing its best to get you grinning from ear to ear. Still, I'm making good progress, and there's a very good chance I'll be finished by the end of the month. And, perhaps most importantly, I've had little trouble resuming my good spirits after I stop writing.

I can think of few better problems to have. I hope this one persists.

That's a good problem to have. Hopefully it doesn't go away anytime soon.

Woe to the... pleasantly happy and contented?

So who's the lucky girl?

4228692 - It's not related to romance; it's a paycheck. More specifically, it's a paycheck that's big enough to cover the benefits I'll lose from going off of public assistance, which means I no longer need to worry about losing my medical coverage because I'm earning too much money. My employer has felt bad about underpaying me for years, even though they did so at my request, so they did the math and decided to offer me a raise that covers much, much more than a cost of living increase.
