What do you need a patch for? Well, today’s the day to ask for it, on I Need a Patch For That Day.

“Patch” has several definitions.

As a noun, it may be:

• A piece of material used to mend a torn or worn spot in a piece of fabric.
• A cloth badge sewn onto clothing, like boy scout or girl scout patches.
• A pad worn over the eye to protect it.
• A medicated pad worn on the skin to deliver a drug slowly over time, like nicotine or birth control patches.
• A piece of code added to a program to correct a security vulnerability or error, or to make the program work better.
• A small area of ground, like a garden patch.

 

“Patch” can also be a verb, as in to patch a program (insert that code) or patch a piece of clothing (add that extra piece of material).

But I Need a Patch For That Day celebrates the nouns. Any and all patches you can think of. Even things made entirely of patches, like a patchwork quilt.

How to Celebrate I Need a Patch For That Day

If you have things that need patching, do it.

That might be, for example:

• Your kids’ clothing that they’ve torn.
• Your software programs.
• A bicycle tire (or any other tire).
• A torn blanket or throw.

 

Nothing to patch today? Think of things you’d like a patch for. Get creative. It doesn’t have to be anything that exists or could even be invented.

How about:

• An allergy patch. Not the patch tests, but a patch to stop the sneezing, the watery eyes and everything once and for all. … Actually in February 2015 scientists announced the early results of a study on a patch for treating peanut allergies. Maybe other allergy patches will be coming soon too?
• An “Ace That Test” patch.
• A “Fill My Bank Account” patch.
• A “Waste Less Time on Social Media” patch … Although I think that’s actually called “willpower.”
• Ok then, a “Better Willpower” patch!
• An “Eat Fewer Sweets” patch.
