Jilli, for the coughing, have you tried Tessalon Pearls? They aren't opioids like codeine, but they work like spooky magic to stop coughing.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

I've been taking the Tessalon Pearls every night, but am trying to make sure I have "productive coughing" as per the clinic doctor.

Productive coughing is gross, but important.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Very interesting! Not something I know much of anything about, but I like hearing about it

Fuck fuck fuck my dog just had a seizure. She’s never had one but she’s 16. She just laying still and breathing steadily now.
This is Mac’s dog and it’s never going to be a good time, but fuuuuck.

I'm so sorry msbelle. We have had a few seizures with our dog Book and they are so scary.

Spooky, wonderful magic. Had those last time I was seriously bronchy and I was amazed.

Exactly.
What happened in LA? I drove to the desert from Camarillo today and the air was so clear. Insanely clear.

Seizures can be outta nowhere. I've experienced it with young and older pets. Give her some time to recover or go to the vet but they often come back strong. She's older so might have some lingering issues but seizures are scarier to experience than dangerous. Terrifying though. So awful.

My street finally got plowed late this afternoon. Schools here are closed tomorrow, and a bunch of other universities nearby are either closed or doing remote learning, but mine still hasn't announced anything other than usual for tomorrow.
edit: And, a minute after I posted that, we got a notice that campus is closed tomorrow.
