I hope all of you had a wonderful set of holidays. I had a really really nice Christmas, which surprised me since I was and had been struggling with some significant health things. My mom got me a low temperature Stirling engine which I absolutely adore (see gif). It's a heat engine that uses air as the working fluid. It can run on a cup of tea or a glass of ice water. I'm desperately trying to come up with someone to explain the physics to. :P And my sister crocheted me a fantastic hat that I love. And there was an unexpected surprise Christmas night that kind of called things off well.
The next few months are going to be pretty intense I think, and probably pretty trying. Hopefully they're exciting too and things work out ok. And I hope there will be some joy as well. It'd be really great if things worked out well, but there's a chance it could be pretty awful. It's going to be a lot. But I'm going to do everything I can and hope.
