When you don't have your instrument or you can't play due to lateness of night, you can blow on the mouthpiece to keep your mouth somewhat in shape. This is called buzzing the mouthpiece.
This is what I did for the last two nights, on a work trip to Anchorage. Tonight, I didn't actually get back in the house until almost 10:30, so I buzzed again tonight (don't want to wake up landlady Kay). That makes Day 27 of Bonnetti Practice Uninterrupted. Sorry, I won't take any arguments, buzzing has to constitute "practice" as sometimes the trombone is just too difficult an instrument to schlep around.
Sandy and her son Toby gave me a ride home from the airport, after I'd waited around for a cab at the airport, with a cheerful Juneau crowd - complaining mildly about the lack of cabs but completely unfazed by the howling wind and rain.
