No Cigar
Let’s call this “Close but oh, so lazy.”
I’ve been trying to get at least 5000 steps a day, which is no problem on days that I run or Michael and I go walking, but it can be difficult during the week when I spend most of my time in front of a computer. This was another occasion where I was exhausted and about to fall asleep but realized I hadn’t taken a picture – so there it is: my almost-but-no-cigar.
I could have gotten up and walked around for 15 minutes and gotten my extra 1000 steps, but alas, it was not in the cards.
Also, here's Clyde with his head through a t-shirt sleeve.
P.S. – I looked up the origin of the “close but no cigar” thing: "The phrase, and its variant 'nice try, but no cigar', are of US origin and date from the mid-20th century. Fairground stalls gave out cigars as prizes, and this is the most likely source, although there's no definitive evidence to prove that."
