It wasn't on purpose, but strangely enough I've found working from home has helped with the winter blues that I got every year in London.

The part of winter that crushed me the most was the excruciating commute in the cold in the morning, and the dark + cold in the afternoon when going home. When working from home, I no longer have to do that commute so I find it a lot easier to get through the winter.

I moved out this year after finishing uni and for the first time ever I’m not completely dreading winter, and this comment contributes. I live in the Pacific Northwest and the worst part of every day of winter was scraping ice and snow off my crappy old minivan that sat outside over night and had barely-functioning heating that didn’t kick on until I’d made it to school.

In retrospect, I’m amazed I made it through high school without snapping, what with such mornings and going home when it was already completely dark out. Teenagers are a different breed.
