Yummy sleep

Owen went down last night at about 8:30, woke up around 1:30 or so (I think, maybe he didn't wake up at all), then didn't wake up again until about 6:10. I fed him in bed, and he went back to sleep until 9:40! Woo hoo for sleeping in!

Unfortunately, Steve was still sleeping when I got up with Owen. That means, yes, he's going into work late again. He didn't come to bed until 1:30am! I bitched him out when he came to bed. I should clarify that he will be working until 7:30, so he's still getting a full day of work in, but the point of last week and this week was for him to score some major overtime. Now that he's a supervisor, they can't make him work it though, and he's taking advantage of that, which I think is shitty. Plus, his hockey team owes $800 to the league, and he's going to be paying it himself, and hoping that he'll get some reimbursement from the team. That hit would be a lot easier to take if it had come out of his overtime check, but since he's not working as much overtime, there goes that.

In other news, I'm about 100 pages away from finishing the third book I picked up at the library. Three books in a week? I'm impressed with myself :). I finished the first book in two days, and the second book in about 3. I think I'm on the 3rd day of this book now. And here I was, stressing about whether or not I'd be able to finish 4 books in 3 weeks. The last one looks a little more serious than the other 3 I've read, and thicker too, so that'll probably take longer to finish.

Woo hoo!

Owen only took one short 30-minute nap today, so he went down for the evening at 7:15, woo hoo! We'll see if he actually stays asleep for more than an hour. Poor Steve didn't get to see much of him today; it's a good thing we picked him up for lunch.

I have a doctor's appointment at 7:45 tomorrow morning, early! I asked for the first appointment of the day, so that Owen wasn't sitting in a cloud of germs with me. I really don't have anything against germs, but I don't want to deal with a sick baby, so I'd rather keep him away from all the sick people. The receptionist sighed at me when I asked for an early appointment. Sorry, if my kid gets sick, do you want to take care of him? No? Well, neither do I.

Anyway, I'm going to see the doctor to get a referral to see a dermatologist. The last time I went was about 3 years ago; bad, I know. I called about a year ago to see the doctor, but he was no longer with the practice, and I just didn't feel like dealing with it. I've had these little lesions on my chest that itch and hurt, and I know they aren't good. I've just been too afraid to go to the doctor and find out that it's something bad. Obviously, putting it off just makes it worse, but logic doesn't usually win out over irrational fear. Wish me luck!

I have an appointment to get my hair cut on Friday at 10am. I really hope that goes well. I'm afraid I'm going to hate the cut, because I haven't cut my hair short in years, and when I did have it short, I didn't really like it.

Tomorrow, I'll be making a potato soup in my crock pot that karlatta posted in the crock pot recipes thread on CC. I'm hoping it turns out good!

Oh yum

You know those chocolate oranges that you smack on a hard surface, and they split up into slices? I LOVE those things, and I think they're only around during Christmas. I got one in my stocking for Christmas, then bought 3 more at the store a couple of weeks ago. I was at the store today, and I bought 5 more!
