Settling into a pattern

Life has settled into a pattern: work in the mornings and afternoons, gym thrice a week in the evenings, daily IRC chats/email conversations with the ones I love. Work itself is a bit less settled; lots of changes that will affect me personally. Will see how it settles down.

Not much time for reading, but occasionally I drag out a paperback for the treadmill. Have finished a couple of books that way, and I actually seem to run longer with books than with music -- pacing of the book balances out against the rhythm of my running. Evenings, when it gets late and I force myself off the computer, I try to find a little spare time to go through Programming Perl (makes me happy, so happy ^_^)

As for DW, when I'm tired or when I know I am working with a limited timeframe, I go on a commit run. It's more bite-sized; don't need to worry about getting into, or regret having to break out of a coding zone. When I have more time or energy available to invest for that evening, I code.

Weekends are for planning/hopefully starting on a new big project if I finished whatever I picked up the week before.

So far it's been working out well. My days are falling into a pleasant rhythm; I rather like it. (Have a few things I need to do; just need to gather the focus/energy to give them the love and attention they deserve)
