You Know What They Say....

I can come up with about a million different words of advice or sayings that start with "You know what they say...." But who are "they?"

"You know what they say about men with big feet... big socks!" I get that... but how about men with big feet having big you know what's? Whoever "they," are must have slept with a lot of big foot men to know that it must be true!

Whenever people ask if I'm single and I say yes, the most common thing I hear is "Well, you know what they say... it happens when you least expect it!" Well, "they," must not know I haven't been expecting it for a long time!

It's like if you put "You know what they say," in front of anything, it must be words to live by, it must be valid and it MUST be credible.

I think I'm going to start throwing it out before saying something completely backwards just to see if anyone doubts it. Or asking them who "they," are when they give you the famous first line.

Sorry for not explaining in my sleep study update that I don't know the results right away. I've had a few people ask what the results were. And they told me at my consult that I wouldn't know until 2 weeks AFTER the study was completed. I called today to make my follow up appointment and it turns out it's over the phone. This is a good AND bad thing. Good, because I don't have to miss MORE work. Bad, because do you remember me telling you how I couldn't understand ANYTHING the doctor said? Well, that was face to face... so I'm assuming the German accent will be even more difficult to understand over the phone.

I just have this gut feeling that they wont find ANYTHING wrong with me, so then they will want to put me on the medication he mentioned at my consult appointment. I hadn't really thought much about it because I hate taking medicine, so why would I take it? But if they don't find anything out... what do I do, just not sleep? Or take the medicine? So I started doing some research on the medicine and what is the first line I read? It's given to treat epilepsy! I mean seriously why is this guy convinced I have epilepsy?? But it goes on to explain that lower doses are given to people with a variety of health problems and sleep disorders. Anyway, it's still a lot to consider. But on the plus side, I am almost done taking my vitamin D perscription. I have been taking it for the last 10 weeks because I was wayyyyy below the normal levels. The standard range is 30-80 and mine was a whopping 18. The perscription they gave me is 50,000 units, while most over the counter doses are 5,000 units. I will be going in to get my levels checked in about 2 weeks once I finish the perscription. Also, I have been sleeping a LITTLE bit better than normal, so I am wondering if my vitamin d deficiency had been part of the problem with my sleeping?

Anyway, I will find out soon enough and you know what they say.... good things come to those who wait!
