Woo hoo!

[district12ravenclaw]

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!

Thinking of you tomorrow at the doc...

That soup sounds delicious! Let us know how it turns out :)

Thanks for the thoughts! The soup turned out pretty good, with the help of more salt and some cheddar cheese :).

You have nothing against germs? I sure do! :) I think that's smart of you to take the first appt. to avoid the risk.

Good luck with your derm appt. I keep telling my doc I want to get one of those full body screens for moles and he asks me "why?" Yeah, seriously confusing! I tell him I read in the mags that you should get it done yearly and he just rolls his eyes and says "You're FINE Lydia!" Uh... okay? I guess because I have so many other health issues he doesn't want to check for a new one? Weirdness!

Hey, if you're afraid your hair isn't going to look good short... why get it cut short silly girl? If you want to try someone AMAZING that you will definitely love the result (it's up here though) just let me know cuz' my stylist is so good it's unreal!

Nah, I'm pretty far from being germophobic; that distinction belongs to my other half :). But I just don't want Owen to be sick because I don't want to deal with. Selfish, I know :p.

I need to get my hair cut because I'm soooooo tired of Owen pulling on it, and it's not doing me any good to keep it up in a ponytail all the time either. I'm just afraid of change, even if it's a silly haircut.

I hope I can get a full body screen. I don't go out in the sun much (walking to and from the car is about as much sun as I get), but I used to get a lot of bad sunburns, and I'm a fair lass, so that makes for a bad combination.

are you getting a new hairstyle, or just a short chop? i could totally see you with a short and shaggy cut. your hair is really straight naturally, right?

[stevesbabygirl.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking a shaggy cut is the way to go. That way, it will look messy no matter what I do! My hair is naturally straight, but it will get kinks in it if I don't do anything to it.

I hope Owen got a good night's sleep and that you did too. Good luck at the doctor. I am the same way with being scared and therefore not going. I can't wait to see your new haircut!

[stevesbabygirl.livejournal.com]

He only got up at 12 and then again at around 5 or 6, so not bad! Thanks!

I hope the appointment went well this morning and that Owen slept well for you last night!

[stevesbabygirl.livejournal.com]

He did sleep well, thanks!

Hope your appointment went well, and seriously what is with the receptionist's attitude?? You are entitled to ask for a time that is best for you! So what if you want an early appointment...it's not any harder for her to book an early one than it is a late one. Geez lady! (sorry...I'm hormonal)

Good luck with your haircut tomorrow. I hope you end up with a do you love!

[stevesbabygirl.livejournal.com]

I know, right?! It's not like I was asking for an after hours appointment or anything.

Thanks!

Hope the dr's appt went well and you were able to find out what those legions are. I hate dealing w/skin issues. They're so annoying...I can totally relate. Hope the potato soup turns out yummy!

[stevesbabygirl.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Hope your appt went ok. Please let me know what you find out :-)

[stevesbabygirl.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Just waiting for the referral and then I'll get some real answers.
