Things I learned at skating tonight:
- even a solitary introverted misanthropic bitch like me gets completely emosh over teammates she hasn't seen in 18 months or more
- if you use a squeaky dog toy as a droplet- and aerosol-free whistle substitute it will have lost its squeak by the end of the session
- if you resort to yelling "BEEP!" as a substitute you will lose your voice by the end of the session
- protein shakes are like rehydration solution: if you can chug it without retching, you REALLY needed it
- you still can't yell "pack it up!" without getting back "pack it in, let me begin"
- I can skate ninety minutes in a three-ply mask it ain't no thing
