February 5th, 2026

 Worrying feels productive, but it isn’t. It’s just paying interest on a debt you may never owe. Instead of worrying, take a shower with someone.

There are several National holidays on my calendar this morning. National Chocolate Fondue Day, National Optimist Day, National Weather Person Day and National Shower with a Friend Day.
I don't do fondue. I haven't done fondue since I burned my areolas back in 1998. That date didn't turn out well.
I support optimists wholeheartedly, but sometimes they get annoying. I can take them here and there. I prefer a stoic optimist, but they don't have a National Day of Recognition for them.
Weather people are usually wrong and are given too much credit nowadays. Most of the time they stand in front of the map dressed to go to a dance club. Tell me when National Weather Girl Fetish Day is and I will put it in the Grabber section.
So, we are going with taking a shower with a friend day. Observed annually on February 5th. A perfect day to start the romantic month of February.
Go find a Chalkhead, soap up the loofah and take a shower today. It will cheer you up during this cold and lonely time of the year.
