...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
