Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.
Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.
Protest in a New England town (pop. 15K) today was excellent, well over a hundred people at any given moment, very cheerful, with attendees from toddler to octogenarian (several people using mobility aids), and much support from the cars driving by. One person was in an inflatable pig costume, and another in a dinosaur costume.
Unfortunately, we could not park near the corner with the dinosaur, because our sign read NO KINGS (EXCEPT FOR T.REX) because the small human I was attending with wanted to make sure his support for T.Rex was clear, and frankly I think we had the best sign there. Someone brought a kazoo, which added an excellent element of whimsy to the proceedings.
Good job, everyone, let's do this again until we stop needing to.
I have not accomplished much on my staycation, but I did spend Saturday at the Preservation Society's Festival of Historic Houses (this year's theme was modernism), and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I did not get to all of the houses on the tour, alas, but if this nor'easter ever clears up, I am going to spend an afternoon gawping at the houses which were marked as "outside viewing only" on the map, and which I ignored in favor of looking at interiors.
The stained t-shirt needs to be mended before I can put it away for winter, so that's this week's project. First I gotta suffer through split stitch, then satin stitch, then French fucking knots, and then I get to have fun with fishbone stitch, which is one of my favorites if not my favorite.
I am making rice pudding with the rice I undercooked, with vanilla and dried sour cherries, and there are fresh cranberries at the grocery store, which means it is properly fall, and I am going to make a cranberry ricotta cake and feed it to everyone I know.
