One of the biggest ironies of my life…
For well over a decade I’ve been making a calendar annually. I’ve easily distributed over 1,000 calendars all of which I gifted. A recent disability has left me time blind. I just showed up for an appointment a week early because I misread the 2026 calendar I designed impeccably and had printed.
I’ve tried and my time blindness is worse when I’ve used a digital calendar. Writing seems integral to how I process info.
Years ago the Miss Fidget calendar stopped acknowledging religious holidays in the interest of fairness. Sure Easter is practically a secular rite of spring but to include it but not passover seemed weak. Mother’s and Father’s Days are also omitted while Tax Day, April 15th has always been included. I can’t control the world but I can control my own content.
The Miss FidgetTM 2026 Calendar just got some high praise for April’s art from a fan. Apparently 60’s era scooter dresses and a bonnet dryer are “Sexy AF.” 😁

What a lovely ad. February 2026 has a cabin fever dreams theme but February-itis may show up in the 2027 Miss Fidget Calendar.

Ran out of already stamped pink envelopes so I’m branching out into manilla. Now have enough envelopes to finish out the last 30 calendars I have left. Have 14 possible hand deliveries sealed and ready to go. Which means more than half of Miss Fidget’s 2026 calendars are in the mail and on their way.
calendars look ok, i am so relieved, now to sign, date, and number them, stuff them into envelopes, add a little note like 100 times
Approved the first 2026 calendar proof As-Is despite numerous pieces of lo-rez art. Not feeling super great about october’s art but too late to change it now - I hit the approve button! Next up so many envelopes and notes.
In the morning I shall send the 2026 Miss FidgetTM Calendar to a local printer. The proofreader found no errors. My art is all CMYK and hi res. My fonts are all legit. The jokes are all trite and corny despite ZERO astronauts or kitschy vintage food photos. New for 2026 — About, Contact info, and when the calendar can be re-used.
The calendar is always free. Drop a DM w your snail mail if you want one and don’t get one already.
Since I discovered it not a year a has gone by that’s hasn’t included at least one image from this amazing CC Zero collection. Now that the shutdown is over maybe it will go back online.
