Did National Clean Off Your Desk Day Slip By You, Too?

I Didn't Even Think about Cleaning My Desk Until Now

Today was actually a designated national day to clean up our desks. I've been so busy playing nurse to Hubby's flu today and picking up his prescriptions and walking by the river while I waited for them to be filled that I missed it. It's the end of the day and I'm too tired to clean that desk today. Maybe I'll do it when the flu has left our house. 

Things I Need to Buy to Organize this Desk

Did You Remember to Clean Off Your Desk on January 9?

If you did, good for you. If you didn't, why not start now? Get some organizers to make all those essentials like tape, glue, pens, paper clips, postage stamps, file folders, important paper, bills, envelopes, etc. easy to find and grab. Maybe some of the suggestions above will get you started.

I find a bill organizer is essential if I don't want late fees. Amazon has many choices. If you click the one above, you will see them. Current also has a good selection, along with many other organizer types. You can see them here. You may find Current's items are even little cheaper, but the quality is just as good. It's all a matter of personal preference.

Let's try to get our desks cleaned off before this time next year.

January 11 is National Clean Off Your Desk Day

Clean Off Your Desk or Splash a Friend?

As you can see, National Clean Off Your Desk Day is a day they made just for me.  I'd much rather be out in the aftermath of the recent rains celebrating another holiday slated for January 11 -- National Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friend Day. Friends that want to be splashed by puddle water are rare around here, so I guess I'm stuck cleaning my desk. I have to admit it needs it. 

Obviously, it's not a desk I've used lately. My computers are on a different desk where I actually get my work done, but seeing this desk as it is and not being able to find what I need is motivating me. I will celebrate National Clean Off Your Desk Day by cleaning off my desk on January 11. 

I'd Rather Photograph Puddles that Splash Someone with Them

Incidentally, if I do see a good puddle, I'd much rather try to get a photo of a good reflection in it than splash a friend. That's what I did with this puddle last week.

What will you do on January 11? Clean off your desk? Splash your friend in a puddle or choose one of the other not so important holidays you can find at a website devoted to announcing all the holidays no one has ever heard of before? As I write this on January 10, I am celebrating National Bittersweet Chocolate Day. Sorry if you missed that.
