The Day From Nowhere
I'm a sporadic, piecewise cleaner. Cleaning one week, making a mess another, and so on, ad infinitum.
I was on the cleaning side of moods over the long weekend, though. I broke down my aging collection of Amazon boxes, gathered up the laundry, and decluttered myself unto equilibrium. And it turns out that I was a tad bit prophetic. For the Tuesday after Labor Day is the one and only National Another Look Unlimited Day.
The National What-A-What Day?
It’s a day all about cleaning, apparently. The idea goes something like this: let’s have another look over all the stuff we own and figure out if we want to keep it, dump it, or re-purpose it.
It’s Fall cleaning, the socially awkward cousin of Spring cleaning.
I suppose that makes some sense, although I would have much preferred “Goodwill Goods Day” or “Detritus Dump Day.” But what’s “unlimited" about the day? It sounds like a 90's comic book series or a subscription service’s ad-free option.
As far as I can tell, no one knows what’s “unlimited” about the day. My daily content source—National Day Calendar—admits that they “were unable to find the creator or origin of National Another Look Unlimited Day.” So there’s simply no one to write home to and ask about the day’s origin.
We’re permanently lost in the dark when it comes to the Tuesday after Labor Day.
Well, at least the house is clean.
Happy Another Look Unlimited Day!
