Am I screwed?
So I brewed on Sunday.
I let it cool to 65 overnight in my fermentation cooler.
Pitched a packet of Coopers ale yeast on Monday morning.
I'm brewing in a bucket for the first time and had a hard time getting the lid on tight but I THINK it was on ok.
However, I haven't gotten any bubbles in the air lock.
Could it be that the yeast didn't work? Can the seal not be right and the co2 if going out the edge?
What do I do now?
Thank you!

Update:
Everyone can breathe easy, and sleep sound knowing that the fermentation appears to be going well. Down to 1.048 gravity and a lovely krausen on top.
I smashed the bucket lid down as much as possible, and we are flying along just fine.
Man, that's a lot of honey...
