So I'm putting another post in today so that I can start building a habit. I need to make myself write once a day for the catharsis and so I don't lose the skill. I'm aspiring to enter an essay contest with a deadline of mid-August, so I need to get off my ass. Writing here will help too.
I'm headed home for now -- early again because things are very slow at work. *sigh* I know it will get easier when more of our customers are home after summer break is over....it just doesn't help anything NOW. Ah well.
More later, possibly about my Lion upgrade as it happens... :-D

Plus cà change, plus c'est le meme chose....
...the more that things change, the more they stay the same! (Nice private Rush joke for myself, but also a pretty accurate observation about my life in general...)
So, what's the same? Jordan, my car, my kid, my Facebook page, my dad being a crotchety old guy who watches way too much Fox News.
What's different? My last name as far as the government's concerned, my job (still tech support, but for a company that makes video game consoles instead of Apple), my Google+ page, and my extended family. That is to say, the father I thought I'd never hear from EVER gave his contact information to my mom, and now....
....I have my daddy back. I haven't spoken to him regularly since I was about 3, and I was always told that he didn't want a girl. That appears to have not been the case. Talking to him has also revealed some things I really wish I didn't know about my mom. And about my grandmother. Oh, but it also means that I have the little sister I'd heard about when I was younger but never got to really hang out with -- and a stepmom who's really cool so far. It just feels a bit odd to be doing things at age 36 that I should have been doing when I was 4 or 5 or 6.....
I guess it'll all work itself out in the end. In the meantime, I have to quit dragging my feet and go to the Social Security office to put in the paper work for my name change and then see if I can take care of DMV today too. I'm just quivering with anticipation, lemme tell ya! :-P
