Our wings are not tired

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

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

but they work like spooky magic to stop coughing.

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I don't know how many inches of snow we got, but there was a couple of inches of sleet on top of it, so shoveling has been challenging. I got some of the driver's side done yesterday(in the sleet) and a fair bit of behind the car today. Hopefully that will be enough for me to get out tomorrow morning. Mr. S's school is closed today and tomorrow. So is the government, but I am an essential employee, so I need to try to get to work if I can.(Couldn't today, but I will try my best for tomorrow)

Ugh seizures are so scary. Hope she’s ok, msbelle

I don’t know what to do. I have always taken pets to the vet when they are at the end. It’s after dark and the roads are icy. Do I just carry her body to my car and go in the morning?

Fucking fuck fuck
