Going off the grid

I have decided to take my lumps as a romance auther. It seems the only books I've sold are the ones I've bought myself. My blogging now will concentrate on going off the grid-my hopes, expectations and my fears. What a strange new world Carl and I are entering. I will happily give up things like the dishwasher, there is only the two of us anyway. What about other things-the power sucking things? I washed my hair this morning and then it occured to me-the blow dryer??? Somehow a spikey hairstyle like I prefer just won't be the same if I have to air dry my hair. Is there a mohawk in my future? Maybe shaving my head?? Lord Thunderin' there are a lot of things to consider. Ceiling fans when it's hot outside. Many people think that by living off the grid you sit by a light so weak it's like one candle and do your cookin' on an outside stove or barbeque. I'm rambling a bit, but anyone who know me knows that's me! We already live fairly green, we have stacks of logs drying in the yard, I don't use the dishwasher or clothes dryer, we garden...my how we garden! The romance writing is a thing of the past, I chose the wrong publisher again!! 2 for 2, a batting average the Blue Jays would love to have. So I will update this blog often, it is ever so much more interesting!! Solar water heating here we come!
