thwarted

This is me in the early morning. I was thwarted from my attempt to sleep by a wicked allergy attack at 5 am. So I was wide awake by 6, which is about when I took this. By then I had already taken a shower, and in a short while I would go walk Mabel and get locked out of my building because, having lost my keys on Wednesday, I did not have the proper key to get in the front door. The doorman does not come until 7 am, and it was too early to buzz my neighbor. So there I was. It felt like the deep South outside, the air so thick with humidity and even then the buzz of insects.
