Eh, it's not so bad. I build walking time into my commute everyday, and most of my meals are quick, easy, and cheap with minimal time required for preparation and cleanup. I do my more time-intense cooking, grilling, and smoking for fun meals on the weekends.

I stay relatively tidy anyway, so most cleaning tasks aren't too arduous, and I keep a few evenings available during the week to hang out with friends, play vidya, or watch movies.

I'm sure all of this will go out the window when we have our first kid in six months or so, but at the moment I'm feeling like my life is pretty balanced, all things considered.

Enjoy this balance, in 6 months it will be gone immediately. (Also congrats)

Thanks! :)

It never fails that once I finally start feeling like I've gotten control over my life, the universe finds a way to throw me a curve that starts me over at the beginning again.

I suppose that's what keeps life interesting and keeps me growing as a person.
