A Bit of Everything Random... or not.

I'm just going to start this post by saying I have way too much to talk about. I should have been blogging about things everyday but NOPE I have been slack and doing other things and now I am about to vomit my brain into one post.

Not quite sure where to start so I'll try and follow up from my last post. I don't know if I fully explained what is going on with my shoulder but basically I lost a lot of strength as well as ROM (range of motion) in my right arm due to pain radiating down through my shoulder from a protruding disc in my neck (sounds lovely, I know) and of course me being my stubborn self, I didn't see a doc about this pain until about a month ago... this slight pain has been going on for about a year now. Well guess what? My wonderful physical therapist, and she really is wonderful, has advised against PiYo til I get my arm right. So my PiYo workout is officially on hold but that doesn't mean I'm not doing anything, I'll just be getting in more gym time at Planet Fitness.

On to the next topic: Music News (in my world)

I discovered this band over the weekend... Twin Forks. 

They were actually formed not too long ago- so I'm actually not way behind in finding them. Here's the thing it took me a couple days to figure out: The lead vocalist/guitarist in the band is Chris Carrabba from Further Seems Forever and the more well known Dashboard Confessional. I knew his voice from somewhere and it took some time before I could put my finger on it, but there ya go. I must say, he has really covered a wide range of music over his career. Twin Forks is by far my favorite project of his, if not one of my new favorite bands in general. Although they currently only have one album out, there is not one song by them I dislike. 

Seriously, take a listen guys. Here they are performing a couple of songs I absolutely ADORE:

Pretty amazing right? Right. I'm a fan. 

Anyway,

Did you guys hear about the crazy winter storm we experienced here in good ol' Fort Mill, SC?

Here is a run down:

All of the meteorologists and weather websites and apps and news stations were talking about how our area would get 5 to 8 inches of snow. If you live in the south you know an event like that would shut down your town or city for close to a week. Everyone was preparing. BREAD, MILK, AND EGGS OH MY. I actually heard that all of the hardware stores around sold out of shovels. No joke. You guys wanna hear what I bought the evening of the night this was suppose to go down? Cheap champagne, orange juice, and a pre-made Greek salad from Publix. Which I happen to think are far more superior provisions than bread and milk. Am I right?

I don't think there is a valid argument against me here.

I'm a survivor guys what can I say?

Anyway, all the schools closed and Governor Nikki Haley declared a state of emergency for SC. It was a big deal. 

Here is a picture from my very own front door of our Snowmaggedonpocalypse of 2015:

We will rebuild.

Welcome to South Carolina.

I actually had lots of other things to discuss tonight but I think I may have over done this post already so I'll spare y'all the chatter. I need some sleep anyway. 

Later peeps.
