We’re late… Or about to be for National Be Late for Something Day.

Of course, that’s kind of what happens when you think Fight National Procrastination Day is actually Sept. 5, but alas, that itself is tomorrow… And we tried to keep pushing off this editorial until the last minute this week as ideas were fleeting, but the deadline for the newspaper, even on holiday weeks, never changes.

Maybe we’re just slowing down because we ate that extra dessert yesterday for “Eat an Extra Dessert Day” (In our defense, choosing between a Blizzard at Dairy Queen or a cookie at White Tree Bakery can sometimes be a very tough decision…)

Then of course, we have National Read a Book Day Friday, Sept. 6, which we wrote about last year, followed of course by National Buy a Book Day (because after you’ve just finished a book, you got to add one to your pile of things to read)…

Both those also precede International Literacy Day on Sunday, Sept. 8. And Grandparents Day.

National Dog Walker Appreciation Day is also the same as Hug Your Hound Day being Sunday, Sept. 8. You should not confuse the intent of the latter two holidays or at least ask for consent from both your dog or dog walker before you hug either…

Or maybe the goal this Sunday is to boldly go where man- kind has never gone before and relish in the adventures of Star Trek Day, like many of us try to make sure people don’t confuse with May 4.

Even with some of those days that are fun are the reminders of the importance of checking in on loved ones. Tuesday, Sept. 10, marks World Suicide Prevention Day. And Thursday, Sept. 12 marks Are You Okay Day? Given the week some people might have had trying to follow all those little holidays, that might be for the best.

It’s funny how many silly holidays or days of note there are on any given calendar to celebrate all things, big or small. Maybe find the one you want to celebrate most in the coming weeks or months.
