It's fine

For the last 6 years, I have been a grad. student at UNH, working mostly at home or UNH. During this period my husband commuted 85 miles every other day to Westborough, MA. Recently, he burned out on the commute and arrange through his employer to work at home but, at the same time, I got my first career job as a Prof. of Biology at Mount Ida in Newton MA, 87.5 miles away. So, now he's at home and I do the the commute. We recently got the Toyota Highlander Hybrid to help with the mileage and make it possible to commute through the winter. We are now considering getting a Prius also, as gas prices move out of site. At this point, I live on a lake in NH, (Pawtuckaway), so I'm not moving and I love my job, so, I guess I'll be settling in on this lifestyle. At least I get summers off.
