need correction

Hi teachers, 

Would you kindly tell me if this is grammatically correct and natural? 

- I am not joking, Jane, nor am I in the mood of, right now. You have to tell me today if you know her address or not. 

Would saying 'whether ... or not' instead of 'if ... or not' be more appropriate here, please? 

Thank you all.

Thank you, Mister Micawber, for replying!

So, will my sentence be correct if I say that this way - I am not joking, Jane, nor am I in the mood for it, right now. You have to tell me today if you know her address or not., please?

Thank you.

I would remove the comma after 'for it'. Otherwise OK.
