Sounds like you know the answer and no counseling is needed! Ride and embrace the simple you have for three months of solid riding (if winter waylays you, don't count it). Consider adjusting your front runs down if you need more climbing capacity (just keep the 8-tooth differential) in that timeframe. You will be amazed how marvelously fun it is to ride without the option of shifting (at least without stopping and grabbing out the ol' allen wrench).
Entering into simplicity is a challenging thing to do in our technology riddled lives. Snag simple 5-10 minute rides here and there. Discover wee nooks in the neighborhood that need exploring, ride to them with a coffee or tea in a thermos, enjoy, ride home. The funny thing about simplicity is that by embracing it, we realize how much more we have with less, and just how much noise and unseen burden comes with the chaos. See? Preaching? Yes. But no counseling. Grin.
