it's the waiting that gets to you

Ok I have spent the morning waiting for my phone to ring. Ye gods time drags. Wonder what my blood pressure was like.

Eventually my work mobile rang. Dad must be well stressed, keeps dialling wrong mobile!! Anyway sounds like good news. She gets the new wonder drug by injection in 3 weeks or so and seems unlikely she will need further chemo. Apparently she has an injection every 3 weeks. She has had a back pain for the past two weeks and they xrayed her but the specialist thinks its nothing to do with the cancer.

Mum said she was quite relieved - understatement or what.

God I feel better!!!

Snaffled from Janice's blog. I wonder if this is true. Oi Girls note the lover bit ;)) GUFFAW!!!!


You Have a Phlegmatic Temperament

Mild mannered and laid back, you take life at a slow pace.
You are very consistent - both in emotions and actions.
You tend to absorb set backs easily. You are cool and collected.

It is difficult to offend you. You can remain composed and unemotional.
You are a great friend and lover. You don't demand much of others.
While you are quiet, you have a subtle wit that your friends know well.

At your worst, you are lazy and unwilling to work at anything.
You often get stuck in a rut, without aspirations or dreams.
You can get too dependent on others, setting yourself up for abandonment.

YAY, great news Pete. I am so pleased for you all. She must be relieved not to have to go through the chemo again. An injection sounds much nicer! If you know what I mean.

I know how easily that quiz can be fiddled until you come up with the right answer! lol

Pleased the news is good on your mum.

The bit that I'd noticed was the lazy and unwilling to work. I hope your employers don't catch you writing this when you should be working.

( I did the test, of course, as I can't resist anything like that - I'm choleric apparently - it was frighteningly accurate)

CP - I'm usually pretty good. if I have a deadline no problem. I'll work me socks off.

BUT I can be lazy and hard to motivate when the mood takes me.

Boo - actually pretty accurate.

Diane - laughed at the lover bit.
