Something interesting has happened.

For the longest time, probably since I was working as a volunteer attorney and then later, when I was hired full time, I have avoided using the computer when I get home from work. I look at a computer screen all day, it’s the last thing I want to do when I get home in the evening.

Until the past couple of weeks. I’ve started coming home, thought about working out, changed into pjs, watched TV, and pulled out the trusty laptop with the loud, malfunctioning fan that needs to be fixed. I catch up on google reader, tumblr, and other interweb things. And wedding planning. Yeesh.

And I actually think it’s improving my mood. I’m not sure why that would be, but I think I am overall in a better mood recently because of the extra time I spend catching up on the stuff I WANT to read and play with, the stuff that’s just for me, and not about work or loans or anything else.

Just a theory, but I like it.

Maybe that means someday I’ll actually answer the messages sitting in my inbox ;-)
