Bitter brutal cold out there.

Getting the trash and recycling to the barrels, the last bits.  Then getting those to the curb?  A test.  It's been so long since I have been out in that cold of weather, just not used to it.  Glasses too a few minutes to defog, from being out less than a minute or two.  I did wear a jacket and gloves.  Didn't matter.  Well, that's on top of warmer wear already.

It did warm, though.  One degree.  :p  Had to laugh.

I feel for anyone who has to work outside in this.  But, take heed, this isn't cool, or cold.  This is frigid.  This is dangerous, almost immediately.  You can lose parts of ears, fingers, toes.  Just be careful out there.  And, if you are sending kids out, bundle them well, and make sure they aren't out very long... even bundled.  Oh, and let the vehicle run a bit, before hopping in and trying to hurry to wherever.  Wow, very cold.  And it somehow feels colder yet.

Still, I got it done!  And almost certainly, at 6:15, before they arrived.  Not sure if it's both, but both are out.

A bowl of soup, with cheese, and maybe an added veggie, might work to rehab from the chill?  A fatted coffee, after, too.  Might turn the heat up, for a few hours, hoping to get a shower?  No.  Until I hit dishes, I'll not worry about heating things up for a shower.  Ugh.  Later.
