Good day, Bad day

I must have celebrated too much on my birthday, because I seem to have the flu or something coming on. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can feel well enough to get some serious word count underway on my new WIP.

Have you ever noticed how days go in cycles like this? Good day, bad day, etc etc. One of my sons, when he was little,  would start out smiling. Then when something went wrong he would howl, "And I thought this was going to be such a good day!"


Yep, this is him, all grown up, having his head licked by a baby giraffe in South Africa.

Okay, I'm going to bed. Catch you all later.

  3. Some days you get the Bear; some days the Bear gets you. But in this case, the Bear is very friendly, so isn't much threat. In the rest of the world, however. . . .

    Happy Birthday. Hope you had all the fun you could Bear.

  17. Happy Birthday! I hope you get a very long good-day cycle.

    Also, hilarious pic. I guess the top of your son's head is palatable to giraffes!

    hope you're feeling better soon. I think we overdo things sometimes, and then pay the price. Rest, ok?

    Great picture, by the way. You could pretend it's an adult giraffe and your son is a giant!

  21. In some countries being licked by a giraffe is a sign of good luck. Or it means the giraffe is hungry for people. I forget which one.
