A funny thing happened on the way to the forum (I mean chemo...)

So I went to get the mail today at the post office box....only to find that I had a speeding fine waiting for me?!  Now, I am not someone who speeds so I immediately figured it must have been Tony that had been driving (not that he speeds either but it CERTAINLY wasn't me!).  But Marge and I traced the time back to when the alleged offence occurred...and low and behold it was  on the way to meet with the chemo nurse the day before chemo. 

I was confused because this certainly was NOT the frame of mind I was in...to speed in to see the chemo nurse?  Is this some kind of sick joke?  But then Narelle and Marge pointed out to me that I had been in a very BAD space that day due to the cold that I had the day before chemo.  So perhaps between wanting to get some of the errands done that I had on my list that morning (getting the kids school uniforms dry-cleaned, getting the "working with children" forms done for the school board, and getting the kids a bite to eat) prior to heading to the city for the meeting....PERHAPS I was a bit out of whack and went the alleged 6kmph over the speed limit.  Grrr.

I think I'll fight this one .....who in the world would be rushing off to listen to the chemo nurse tell me about all the terrible things that are going to occur in the next 3 months...certainly NOT me!  It wasn't me!

(FYI - the chemo nurse, Marisa, called today...she asked how I was.  I happily said, "I feel great, and how are you?"...there was a sharp silence at the other end of the phone and then Marisa slowly said, "hmmm, that's not typically the type of response I get just after the first round of chemo".  A well, you can't always be the average bear!).
