Gifts from tallin and seanersxp:

a stocking full of chocolate
evolution's rainbow: diversity, gender and sexuality in nature and people (have read it before but am totally stoked to have my own copy. must-read for anyone interested in gender/sexuality and/or science: written by a Christian transsexual evolutionary biologist who rocks the world.)

the quirks and quarks guide to space. Anyone who likes NPR's "Science Friday" will love CBC's Quirks and Quarks: podcast available at the CBC Podcast site.

And there will be more as soon as the UPS/Fedex people show up.

All in all a very satisfying couple of days, with the promise of more to come.

Also cool: Seaners adores his new mp3 player - it is better than stimmies. Those of you who deal with autistic kids will realize how big a deal it is that something new is providing so much joy. I know I've said it a lot in various places, but I'm just so pleased with it - and I think he's learned what the buttons do, too, which is awesome considering it's existed here about 24 hours or so. And it's so awesome that he's coming out of Sean World and taking interest in things around him. <3 machineplay gets loads of credit and kisses and lovins for showing it to me. (Will deliver kisses and lovins personally.)

Will have wheelchair for writing date with shadowgoddess42 AND to go to the airport to get gizmometer YAY!!! omg stoked.
