Happy Friday!

I am currently in standby mode waiting to hear which of my proposed packages a prospective client has selected for their beach house mural 🏝️

(I am STUPID EXCITED about this project)

I love when Buddy’s at day camp because Milo comes home EXHAUSTED.

Get you someone who looks at you the way Milo would look at his best friend Buddy if Milo had fully functional eyeballs and wasn’t sight impaired.

I just realized it’s October which means my newest nibling could arrive ANY MINUTE

She’s due on Halloween

My new glasses came today.

The green glitter is super fun but the progressive lenses are making me want to barf

No worries buddy I’m not busy or anything

In other old lady news, my new progressive lens glasses will be here later this week

But I got green glitter frames so hopefully I will still look cool even though I have to hold shit far away from my face to read it now

CPAP update:

My new mask is so much better!

Instead of “pillows” that go up my nostrils (and make them chapped & sad) the new mask gently cradles my snoot on a silky fabric coated silicone air pillow 😍

It’s much more comfy and way easier to sleep in

Good afternoon.

Milo would like to invite everyone to come smell his beard 🤗

He promises it isn’t stinky.

It’s safe. He would never lie to you.

“This looks like a long message. Summarize it with Meta AI.”

Thanks, I will literally never do that.

CPAP update:

I’m sleeping a little better I think? I feel slightly less shitty when I’m awake, anyway

But my new mask isn’t here yet so I’m stuck wearing the nasal pillow style I started with and it’s making my nose so sore even though I took out my jewelry and my nostrils are chapped :(

"It looks like this message is in Greek"

No it isn't? It's not even on the same continent as Greek

(I'm pretty confident we're still a long way from a hostile AI takeover, friends.)

Obviously everybody gets backpay in my imaginary scenario, but I feel like whoever the fuck in Congress would work A LOT HARDER to reach a compromise if full blown countrywide anarchy was the consequence (reward? 🤔)

Is it just me, or should government shutdown mean the government is SHUT. DOWN.

No postal service, no military, no TSA, close the nat'l parks. No executive orders, no "restructuring." No essential workers working for free.

"Shut down" means shut down. All of it.

I thought I was Officially Grown Up when I got excited about buying a new vacuum in my late 20s, but it turns out it wasn’t actually *officially* official until today when, at 41, I made a phone call to order a replacement CPAP mask.

So Ohio wants me to upload my government issued ID to verify my age in order to access “adult content”?

Well that’s not going to happen lol

I really don’t want to take out my piercings but I also don’t want to die in my sleep, so.

Maybe I’ll get my eyebrow re-pierced instead as a consolation.

Christine Parker @christineparkerco.com · 13d

At my initial fitting I tried a full face mask style one and that was an immediate hard nope

Christine Parker @christineparkerco.com · 13d

I do have 30 days to try another CPAP mask style (I’m using a nasal pillow one currently) but the next least obtrusive one (nose mask) makes me want to scream
