15 holidays I could send cards for, part 4

I am always looking for excuses to send cards. You can read part 1 here, read part 2 here, and read part 3 here. Many of these were found on the National Day Calendar website. 

  1. National Plus Size Appreciation Day (I could send out photos of myself lol, also it's apparently October 6th)
  2. National Leif Erikson Day (I would make cards out of the Spongebob episode, also it's apparently October 9th)
  3. Indigenous Peoples Day (I could get cards made by an Indigenous artist to send, also it's the second Monday in October)
  4. National Dictionary Day (I could either make cards out of old dictionaries or send some favorite words out, also it's apparently October 16th)
  5. National Reptile Awareness Day (I'd get alligator cards of course, also it's apparently October 21st)
  6. Girl Scout Founder's Day (gotta celebrate that I was a girl scout, apparently it's October 31st)
  7. National Frankenstein Friday (there have to be Mary Shelley cards out there, also it's apparently the last Friday in October)
  8. Thanksgiving (I would tell people why I'm thankful for them)
  9. National Day of Listening (I would tell people I'm there to listen, also apparently it's the day after Thanksgiving)
  10. Stay Home Because You're Well Day (I'd encourage people to have a self-care day, also it's apparently November 30th)
  11. National Mutt Day (I can never have enough excuses to send Hoban cards, also it's apparently December 2nd [and July 31st])
  12. Wildlife Conservation Day (I could send out cards of endangered species, also it's apparently December 4th)
  13. National Crossword Solvers Day (I could send out crosswords, also it's apparently December 8th)
  14. National Thank You Note Day (time to send thank you, also it's apparently December 26th)
  15. National Card Playing Day (I could recommend different cards games, also it's apparently December 28th)

15 things you'll think about during your dad's latest hospital stay

This is meant to be a related piece to "15 things to do in your dad's hospital room," "15 Things You Find in Your Dad's Hospice Room," and "15 Things You Find When You Clean Out Your Dad’s Apartment" .  The Christmas lights at the nurse's station that should really have been switched for saccharine cupids by now What team decided to hang up a clearly labeled DRAFT safety sign Who comes up with the aliases they seem to use for trauma patients and how they decided on Redstone for your dad That his skin either looks like a bruised elephant or like sickeningly conflicting colors of thin paper mache Where you can possibly get food--you're shaky The patient in the ER somewhere with a lot of ammo, but no gun, or so they say Why the staff is being so happily loud and swearing...it feels discordant The used bandaid and gauze that are left on the floor of his ER room as he moves to his hospital room...the last proof he was there Having to do this a...
