Your favorite chemo brain story

Another thread gave me this idea. Keep in mind that I haven't actually had real chemo since end of April of last year, but it was the third time I had full rounds, and they say it can take up to a year or more to completely recover; well, I haven't actually made it that long between chemo, so I guess I can't say if it will ever fully recover, but...

Last month I had gotten a call from a friend from church and she asked me to do something for her, then we got to talking about other stuff and she told me about a youth choir concert coming up end of the week. So, I make a mental note to see if anybody wants to go to this with me and as soon as I get off the phone I text a few friends to see if they are available. Of course, I promptly forget about this until Friday comes around and one of the friends asks if I had gotten anybody to come with me. Well, obviously nobody had responded to the text, and I forgot, and it was too late now to get somebody to go with me, so I figured I would go alone and just find someone to sit with once I got there. Along comes Saturday and I once again totally forget about the concert and stay home and enjoy my usual Saturday. Now it's Sunday and during fellowship hour one of the women I had texted mentioned the text and apologized for not responding, that she couldn't go. I told her it was alright, I completely forgot about it and didn't go anyhow. I knew that my friend had actually called me about something totally different initially when we got to talking about the youth concert, but couldn't remember what that original topic was. It kind of nagged at me during Sunday School as well. Then, in church, I see in the bulletin that it's Bold Women Sunday. I'm like, cool! They have a liturgy in the bulletin honoring Bold Women, so that's good. I also notice that it's Boy Scout Sunday so there are a lot of visitors in attendance which is always a good thing! Then, we get to the part of the service where the Bold Women Liturgy is and pastor and the assisting minister mention it and then they pause ... they are standing up at the front of the church obviously waiting for something... I'm thinking, hmmm somebody must be leading the liturgy other than pastor or David. Then, suddenly I remember the original topic of that phone call and that the reason for the call was to ask if I would lead the Bold Women Liturgy and that I had said of course I would do it! They were waiting for ME to go up and lead so up I pop from the back of the church, climb over the people sitting next to me, and walk up to the front to lead the liturgy! Luckily everybody knows me there and some even assumed the pause was planned, so it was all good! Also luckily I was able to keep myself from giggling or stumbling because of my faux pas!

That's what I get for not putting it in my phone's calendar!
