Ever since we had our ice storm in February I have been keeping everything off except for the heat, two computers (I leave Motherkitty's computer alone), refrigerator, freezer and one light bulb (fluorescent). I do use the dishwasher and the clothes washer. But they are off until needed. When I walk into a room I leave the lights off unless I am going to need light for a project or it is too dark to see.Just about every light we have is fluorescent.
We were in bed asleep when the time arrived to turn off everything.

How you are operating now after your Feb. ice storm is how we have always lived...nothing on unless it is being used. My main computer's power is even off until I use it. Last summer we only turned our A/C on while we were away on a trip and that was only for Suzanne's comfort while caring for our pets. When you get used to not having the A/C on, and all the windows open it makes no difference and you get used to it.
