Actually, September 30th is a really boring day for celebrations; but I found a few promising ones for tomorrow and decided to skip right ahead to October 1st:

To begin with, it’s the very first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. So let’s all take a moment to reflect on taking care of ourselves and our loved ones, and perhaps making a contribution — whatever you can afford — to help fight this terrible disease.

And on a more cheerful note, tomorrow we have both . . .

International Coffee Day and National Homemade Cookies Day. I don’t know whether that was planned or coincidental, but it sure sounds like a good way to spend the beginning of a new month. Make mine good, old-fashioned chocolate chip, please.

National Fire Pup Day. What a fantastic idea! This is a day set aside to honor the pooches that work with fire departments across the country. I love that. An extra treat for each and every one of those 101 Dalmatians — and all the other breeds that fill those important and dangerous jobs.

Urticaria Day. Had to look this one up. It turns out to be an icky-sounding skin disease. I don’t know why it rates its own day, and I’d rather not find out. I’m just thankful I don’t have it, and I wish happy healing to those who do.

International Day of Older Persons. Finally! A holiday for me. Don’t send me flowers or chocolates, because one dies and the other just goes directly to my hips. But theater tickets would be lovely, thank you. And promise to be nice to all the older people you know. We’ve been through a lot, and we deserve it.

International Music Day. Just make those theater tickets to a musical, and we’ve done a twofer.

National Hair Day. Yes, please . . . I’d like to get back what’s come off in my hairbrush over the years.

And finally . . .

World Vegetarian Day. I know of some cows and chickens who would like to throw a party for this one. Just be sure to get your complete protein, and you’ll be fine without the meat.

So, lots to look forward to tomorrow. You’d better get busy baking those cookies and ordering my theater tickets. And have a very nice day — today, tomorrow, and every day.

TTFN,
