Happiness and Fun in the Mail

In today's mail, a replacement pair of flower earrings in trans colors! I had bought the first pair at an outdoor queer market last Summer and they were the first item of personal adornment I bought that were specifically a trans thing. I lost them in the fire, and having them back is pretty meaningful to me.

I lost some ephemera that was really important to me too. Things like the first package I ever received with my real name on it (from Thrift Books) that I planned to keep somewhere. But so much more meaningful than even that was a card that Lisa sent me not long before the fire, along with a care package of Cadbury Eggs and other things. I had that card standing up on my desk so I could look at it from time to time and feel love and joy and acceptance.

But these earrings were replaceable at least. They are a small piece of happiness, and I'm really glad to have them.



Also in today's mail: On Facebook a while back, I saw a company was offering free posters to anyone who signed up for one. I thought it was a pretty cool poster so I signed up! It seemed like the questions were expecting people in trades and fields that I am not in, but I filled them out as best I could.

it took a while, but today my poster showing global allocation of EM frequency bands arrived!

I don't actually have any immediate use for this. I just thought it would be funny, and actually kind of cool, to have it.



And lastly, a set of 21 pairs of little flat-back stud earrings arrived today! There are bunches of shapes like rings, stars, moons, hearts, and so on. I'll have fun mixing and matching, especially once the new piercings are fully healed!

Today was a good day for packages in the post!
