Now have emails in my inbox from two aunts and my grandfather, 92 years old and who has the same birthday as me.
Wasn't feeling overwhelmed before, am feeling slightly so now. I guess it was one thing to establish that biodad was out there and kicking, but really weird to realize I have extended family beyond him.
What the hell do you say to people you've never even had a passing thought about? Obviously, at least I'd thought of biodad. This is so weird.
Lest you all think I'm all deep and ponderous and shit now, I should also say that waiting for U2 to announce when they're playing in Ireland next year is stressing me out, because I may or may not be arranging my trip around it.
There's a rumor of October, and if that's true, I'll be pissed, because it will either mean delaying my trip by a month again, or deciding to go as originally planned and not seeing them in Ireland.
Which seems pretty ridicuous. I'd probably hate myself if they were playing there anywhere remotely near my planned dates, and didn't go.
Gosh, my life is so hard, if this is the shit weighing on my mind.
Maybe some gelato will help. I have wine, too ....
