Hail storms aside, if you live in snow country you literally have to watch out for ice spikes falling from the roofs and edges of buildings during winters. Icicles can be deadly.

Is it like playing Stick Avalanche every time you step outside?

I am feeling grumpy right now for reasons that I'm not sure of. Is it isolation? Does Vector need an hug? Would a kitten help? Who knows!

[wierd]

does vector bake?

This fatass likes to bake, and got a lot of stress relief making cookies and banana bread over the holidays. (and apparently spoiled a lot of old people in the process because they keep asking me when i will bake again.  I have to tell them that it (being able to bake) is dependent upon which unit I get assigned to, and recently I have not been getting assigned in locations permissive to that activity. )

Simply because you bake the sweets does not mean you have to eat them, mind-- I understand you have darling children you help educate? GREAT place to liquidate some confectionery.

If you don't eat the stuff then what's the point of baking?

[wierd]

Because candy is FUN to make, that's why--

Honestly... What is a fat bastard to do with kids like you?

Over the internet, and my undergrads aren't nearly as cute :v

But good point, I could make some steamed bread and feed the local homeless population

[Frumple]

I'm sure you could work out the trajectories to launch a tiny homemade rocket full of candy at wherever your students are living. Just a thought!

The yuck ice is falling from the sky again. 

[King Zultan]

What makes it yuck, does it have pee in it or something?

[Caz]

It combines the worst qualities of rain, snow and fog. Wetness, coldness, and dampness.

[King Zultan]

That does sound awful.

I'm trying to fight the need for physical human contact, it's been weeks since I hugged someone or so much as touched hands with another.

Weeks? You spoiled brat. I haven't touched a human being for 11 months now. Not even my mother.

I'm fortunate enough to have been able to travel two states south of here, to visit friends* in my former city and catch some excellent live music, but now that I'm back I'm being super cautious (and worrying myself sick) not to potentially infect my own mother in the highly unlikely chance that I contracted COVID whilst away. No symptoms and I haven't been in/near any "hot zones" or whatever, but y'know. Cities, man.   
Been wearing a mask in my own home and just got tested earlier today, now I just have to isolate for up to 72 hours until I receive my (hopefully, probably negative) result.   

Wearing a mask really ain't so bad, though I feel maybe a tad self-conscious doing so up here in this rural area where nobody has bothered for months.   


* one of whom may in fact be turning out to be something more than a friend. What a crazy idea. Eep.
