Definitely going cold.

Lighting the grill, I could tell.  At not yet 21:00, it is dark, windy, and just hitting 50.  It will be dropping hard.  Oh, but the wind is from the south, not the north which is what I heard would be the case.  Same yesterday, I do believe.  Which... doesn't make sense.  From the south it should be warm.  This isn't... what they are saying it is.  This isn't a polar vertex, or vortex, or... any such thing.  This is just plain... wrong.

The wind is strong.  Remnants of the hurricane(s)?  Something else?  Unusual.  It isn't from the north.

Burgers, but just with some veggie or other.  As much as I need, want.  Something is really off, foodwise, hungerwise.  I asked my mother, but I haven't had a thing like this, that I recall.  But I have never tried to control diet before, either.  It sure seems to be a reaction to the cold.  So... so I best try to manage the cold.

I am dressing warmer, but I don't think even that is enough.  I need to add not just warm pj's, but also try the woolen and synthetic layering items, of various thicknesses.  I feel slightly cool, but not cold.  But... it's... wall to wall cool.  I think I had best treat that.  If I want to control hunger.  As for falling off the diet?  I am not worried about that, so long as I can figure it out, manage it, and remember how to do that in the future.  Minimalism will not work.  I have to start taking care of my body, as if it were a child or infirm person on it's own.  Or... it will do what it feels is required to do to tend itself.  Choices... or no conscious choices?  Yes, something like that.

I bet it will drop to below freezing tonight.  Unless clouds and rain or snow hits.  That limits the temp drops, save at higher elevations.  But I just don't see snow or definitely not rain with this sort of wind.  It would have to be a huge front moving in.  Possible, just not likely to stick together in this wind.  Will see tomorrow.  And, I am keeping the furnace at 72.  And dressing warmer.  It is, pretty much, winter weather, here, already.  That wind is something.  Later.

In the fifteen to twenty it took to get the grill going and get veggies out and on, it has dropped to 45.  And, that is downwind from the grill, which is a roaring roasty cooking hot!  I'm not sure that will affect the thermometer, ten feet away, and about two feet higher, but it might.  Yea, it will get cold tonight.
