Trying flirting on for size!

[ACJ]

Just when you think your life is getting back on track something else happens to knock you for six.

My mum phoned this evening. She was phoning to tell me that my brother has been feeling unwell and has been to see his doctor. They think he might have anklyosing spondilytis, which is a form of arthritis that affects the spine.

In the next breath she then told me that she had been bleeding from one of her nipples. In the past she has had a clear discharge for which she has had treatment and which was not life threatening. This sounds more serious, although her doctor couldn't find a lump, and she has been referred for tests.

I phoned the mortgage company today to see how my new mortgage application was progressing. they told me they were waiting on my employer for confirmation of my earnings. So I phoned the HR dept. They have received nothing (or so they say) so it doesn't look like H is going to get his money any time soon. I'm cross myself b/c I went to a lot of trouble to make sure that his deadline would be met. Nothing is signed on that score so I'm not worried just irritated.

Test, test, test is all my life seems to have been about for the last 3 yrs. I want a longer period of 'you've passed, well done!'
