One would think that being a non TV dinner family we could manage without one easily.
One would be wrong. The other night when nuking some vegetables my microwave went 'BZZT' so I took the stuff out unplugged it and cooked the veggies on the stove (how archaic)
But doable, I managed.
The next day I managed to learn how to use the timer on my stove instead of the microwave for making cookies, (ok actually I went with the time honored, 'take em out when they smell good' method, but I tried to remember to use the stove timer)
I steamed some brocolii on the stove, cut up leftover food and made succotash instead of heating up the mini portions, and essentially managed to cook all weekend without a microwave.
Now I am ready to have one, please?
Not that I can't manage, it's just that microwaves are so much quicker!
I imagine if I go without for a month I will be used to it, since my husband uses one at work for his lunch and I can use the stove. But I don't think we will go that long, I expect one to be installed within the week.
So just how important is a microwave?

so it sat in the garage and we occasionally used it to heat up dog food.
when we moved into our new house i said to DF 'can we please get rid of it?' but he wanted to keep it, so it lives in the basement. i see no need for it really. i defrost meat either in the fridge, or in a bowl of hot water. i re cook things in a pan or in the oven. i steam veges the old fashioned way.
