Yesterday the power went out.

For the next 22 hours my day was this:

Make a fire

Boil hot water on the stove

Make tea

Realise the car is stuck in the garage, so no escapes

Read a book

Make some soup on the stove

Listen to an audiobook while eating soup

Clean the kitchen

Read more book

Make more tea

Drink a beer

Read

Prepare candles

Eat more soup

Drink wine

Listen to audiobook by candlelight

Go to bed by 8.30pm.

Thank goodness my power came back on this morning--my life is truly fueled by electricity.

I challenge you to try no power for 22 hours...you will cherish your luxuries.
