Doing what YOU want is the third.

I do not find myself thinking things through more than I used to. It's pretty innate. @brauhster, tlblack – I will answer the relationship dynamics in a separate post.

You will/would/might want it for relaxing a bit in weather not suitable for being outside. I have an XBOX original right by my desk at home, and it really relaxes me to just turn it on and play a few of my fav's. I am a stupid "Serious Sam" fan, as well as anything World War II FPS, or racing. I am well out of vogue on XBOX original, but my games are all on that platform. (I have actually gone on half.com and bought up even some original XB games I dont even like for pennies. I am thinking of buying the new PS3 Slim. I dont have a research yet on the available games, and being such a tightwad as I am I want it to be "more" than worth my while to move up. I am not even sure what "blue-ray" is! Anyway, if you are any of a gamer, your always one (I think), so keep on PS twoing. Jacob, don’t trash your PS2.

Your explanation for the dip in your bike riding makes sense and was quite a relief for me! I've been experiencing the same although I went for a ride again today, 'just to ride' and not to go anywhere and still enjoyed it immensely. Like Brauhster, I'm curious to know how your new routine changes your relationship dynamic--if it does. Also do you find that you think things through much more given more time? It seems you do this to a great degree, but I was wondering if that's just innate in your personality or if it's something that's augmented by your lifestyle--or both! When I worked the 70 hour work week, I was very much one to react quickly on a hunch--which luckily usually came out with decent results anyway. I now find myself doing much more number crunching, planning and calculating before I act, which I would have avoided like the plague when I worked more. I actually enjoy it now . . . I feel like more time is making me more rational/creative/experimental/systematic. I would not have expected that kind of change, frankly. It strikes me as very weird--almost like a fundamental shift in what I've always known my character to be. . . I wonder if something that big can come just from a lifestyle change . . .

Like Brauhster, I’m curious to know how your new routine changes your relationship dynamic–if it does.

Any more or less friction between you & DW, as you are becomming who you are. With one working full time & the other ER, I would think the dynamics of the relationship would be altered.
