Being an adult, and working in an industry that doesn’t close for holidays, weather, or anything else, I don’t really get snow days anymore. At least not the way I used to look forward to them.

These days, if I get a snow day, it’s usually because I had a scheduled day off and plans for something fun. Today, it was an SCA event that we had been looking forward to attending.

Unfortunately, Winter Revel is a No-Go for us today. Our plans had been to get up, run the one errand we had to do today, and then take the two hour trek to the event, and have fun with friends. Our plans changed when we woke up to 4-5 inches of snow, and it was still steadily coming down. Even now, seven hours later, the snow is still falling.

I’m not really complaining. Well, maybe 3% complaining, because I was looking forward to playing dress-up at a really cool site with some really cool people. But I’m also happy to be spending time at home with my husband, happy dog at my feet, and kitties napping somewhere around here, all while wearing comfy pants and a big cozy sweater.

Today has gone from planned social fun, to impromptu phone calls to customer service, administrative duties, research, and crafting.

On the research front, I’m on the hunt for a useful nutritional tracking tool that tracks more than just calories, carbs, and fat. While these things are useful in managing your weight, and I’ll probably use it for that too, what I’m really looking for is something that I can use to help me not be anemic anymore.

I also need to find a new (to me) weather tracking website so I can continue one of my craft projects. I had been using Intellicast for their past observations, because it had all of the information I needed – high temp, low temp, and if there was any precipitation on that day. But Weather Underground recently absorbed them, so now I can’t access the most local weather station, and past observations appear to skip out on the precipitation information.

As far as crafty stuff goes, I’ve got a new blanket on the needles (Project Details coming soon!), and I’m still working on my English paper piecing quilts. I also have some SCA garb I need to finish, so that we can wear our new pretties to the event we’re attending next month.
