Sorry that this blog brought back that memory. I guess because of the break up you found out about the credit card - that is one good thing. Funny that - the small sideways - but not totally obscured photo.
I remember that time - I was not nervous at all. I actually travelled to England to celebrate with family knowing full well that some thought that the planes could grind to a standstill. I just thought I would deal with it if that happened.
Life went on like you said indeed. The only thing that change the following day was your diagnosis.
It was a long time ago and I can really only see the funny side of it now. It's these things that make life interesting, don't you think? if everything went smoothly there'd be nothing memorable at all.
Good to see you around.
