Happy New Year (and safe and well)

Happy New Year, everyone! :)

I also wanted to post just to let everyone know that I'm alright. If you've seen on the news about the terrible fires here in Australia, I am thankful to be far enough away from any of them to be safe (aside from the smoke in the air that has come this far, even!). Please keep my fellow Aussies in your thoughts and prayers, though; the scale of this disaster is pretty massive and tragic.
