Theme Entry – Living without electricity

Am I the only person on OpenDiary who has actually LIVED without electricity before?  It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but we survived, so…..

For the most part of a year, I lived without electric service in my first home.  That was before I started treatment for my mental illness, and I was particularly off-balance and soon sold that house BECAUSE I was off-balance.  Then, when we moved back to Waco in October of 2006, we didn’t have electricity for a bit.  Then, when we moved HERE, we went without electric service for a month or two again.  The biggest changes were getting used to talking to each other again, with no distractions from anyone else, and not buying perishable food items.  Other than that, it wasn’t really bad.  It wasn’t great, either, mind you!  It just WAS, and we made it through just fine.

I don’t WANT to do it again, but if we have to, we’ll be okay.
