After six and a half years working remote I have returned to office. Four days a week, so I suppose it could be worse. This is my first week back and it's just been brutal on my mind and body. Trying to stay optimistic and upbeat, but my soul feels crushed at the moment.

I'm once again leaving the house before my family is awake and returning just in time to say goodnight before I pass out.

I took this role because it was a great opportunity and things were looking grim at my precious job. At first they told me there was no space in the office for me so I would have to work remote for a while. Well, that space opened up days before my start date. Just such a gut punch.

Not sure how long I can last with a 90 minute commute but will see how it goes I guess.

Godspeed my friends.
