I guess I finally got it through my head that exact thing, Susanne. I've known for some time I was only likely to travel so far for a few reasons, neuropathy set it at a different level. I had left doors ajar hoping for improvement. Now I feel it is more important to get more quality time. It has been in far too short supply.

Besides, it is not as if I couldn't reverse course if I improved, but as I told a friend at work - if I mention that remind me I am likely forfeiting anything I gained.

It was rewarding that to this point my experience was easy. I was greeted with understanding and respect. The big cheese was pragmatic more than anything, measuring the gain in the new place over any loss at the old. Fine by me.

My modest goal is a few more quality family hours a week. My large goal is Family game night and cooking dinner a few nights a week.

It is not something that is known office wide yet. That is going to be an interesting onion.
