My Week with no Power Experiment

Last week at our house was and experiment in a week of no power.  It was pretty much normal living for me.  Just a little more time consuming for boiling water to cook and wash dishes with.  Loved the no TV and computer for a week.  Did cheat and take hot showers since I had to go to work. I did run out of bread and a wonderful friend gave me 2 loaves.   We have a gas stove and oven, so I just lit the gas to use it.  If I wasn't working I would have cooked/baked on the BBQ or solar oven.  Had to dress warmer.  Kept the heater set at 58 degrees.  I did miss my electric blanket most of all.  Had a lot of laundry to do after the week was over.  In a real emergency I would wear the same clothes more often.  I do want a butane curling iron.
