I just took a 3-day training class where I had to be in the office all day, each day. I’m not used to the commute, but I survived. My hubby had to handle all the stuff with the kids - getting them up, fed, dressed, and off to daycare. I spent that time on the road instead.

What’s funny is now I’m back home again it actually seems strange. I mean I was only in the office for 3 days. But today, working from home, I had a couple moments when I felt a little lonely in the house all by myself. Just goes to show there really is an adjustment to be prepared for when you telecommute. But it’s manage-able - being prepared for it is probably the most important thing - just knowing you’ll feel some sense of isolation. But there are lots of things you can do (see some of my previous posts) to alleviate it.
