Needed national days


  1. National Alligator Day. Alligators are only indigenous to the US and China so we really should celebrate them.
  2. National Time Capsule Day. Either bury one or dig one up, both would be fun!
  3. National Take a Nap Day. Ideally, this would actually be once a week, but naps are magical and should be honored.
  4. National Tidy Day. Wouldn't it be great if you had a day off to just do all that tidying that you'd love to do?
  5. National Baby Animal Day. Why stop at puppies? Plenty of animals are cute as babies.
  6. National Take a Photo Day. I feel like I see something new when I look at the world through a photographer's eye. It would be good for more people to at least try this.
  7. National Listen to One Song Day. Think you actually have a favorite song? TRY LISTENING IT FOR A WHOLE DAY! SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
  8. National Write a Thank You Note Day. Everyone has someone they should send a note to, but haven't, so take this day to do it!
  9. National Write a Letter Day. Everyone only gets spam mail, let's change that!
  10. National Coloring Day. Let's all take a break and just color for a bit. Could be good for destressing, but also some bonding.
  11. National Aunt Day. As I'm now an aunt, I'd like to have a day :D
  12. National Belated Birthday Day. Did you miss someone's birthday? Of course you did. Let's just pick one day a year that we can celebrate all of those we missed. That way, you only have to remember one date.
  13. National Figure Out a New State Noun Day. Yeah you have a state bird, but do you have a state nail polish color? This could be the day to decide on the new noun your legislators need to 
  14. National Run and Scream Day. So a run and scream is where you stand in a line with people and then on the mark, you all start running and screaming and you run until you can't scream any more. Now this gets a lot of frustration out and, you know, there may be something in the news that just makes you want to scream.
  15. National Rewatch Your Favorite Kids' Movie Day. Remember that movie you loved as a kid? How good/bad/weird is it actually? You should rewatch it and find out.
  16. National Volunteer Day. For those who have the time, why don't you give some of it?
  17. National Bake Cookies Day. Just think how lovely every city would smell because of this.
  18. National Be a Tourist in Your City Day. Go do that thing that your city is known for, but that you've never done or go explore somewhere new.
  19. National New Mode of Transportation Day. Never been dog sledding? Try it! Never ridden a unicycle? Give it a whirl! Never invented a new kind of transportation? Invent away!
  20. National Glitter Day. The trick is that this would then become a glitter year because it would be EVERYWHERE.
  21. National Bold Fashion Day. Try something new today! Thought of doing drag? Work it! Wanted to wear a denim suit? Give it your all! Considered having bubble gum pink hair? Get that dye!
  22. National Relaxation Day. Get a message, meditate, nap, take a bubble bath, do whatever you need to recharge.
  23. National Hair Day. This has so many possibilities. You could get a new do, a new color, or even just a new hair brush.
  24. National Art Day. Just try some new art form today!
  25. National Stretch Day. Can you touch your toes? It's your goal for the day!

What days would you add?

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica...

15 ways to support me on my parental journey

I posted yesterday and in August, 2023 about starting my parental journey. If you're wondering how you can support me, here are some ideas I have at the moment (though these may change and also don't feel pressured to do any of these things). Check in via text or DM so I can respond at my leisure (but please don't be insulted if I take a long time to respond) Help with arranging food for me (I know that when I get overwhelmed, I often have really awful eating habits) Offer to help with apartment chores (I may turn you down, but the offer will mean a lot) Walk Hoban (I realize only some people can do this, but the relief of lightening the responsibility of Hoban will likely be welcome) Be understanding if I have to cancel plans (I hope to still be somewhat social during this time, but I cannot guarantee how I'm going to feel) Drive me to appointments (I have the retrieval itself covered, but I have other appointments that will happen leading up to it so if you have the...
