Ken - I work alone from home for 70% of the year, and do not typically have contact with others during the day (they are 9 hours of time difference away). I always looked forward to W and d16 coming home, and would make dinner for them. At least the house had someone else in it in the evenings, and I had some little social contact. With the prospect of their living in Stockholm weekdays, I would have no contact at all with others during the week, no office banter, nothing.

I am going to the States to hear that banter, and be with people, not to escape the situation here.

There is no point in staying just now, I think either, as I do not believe the house will be ready to sell before Christmas. If there were some positive reason to stay, that would change things.

In the long term my working alone here has to change. I would like to find a place that rents me a desk, with some other workers, and have some social life at work, even if not within my company.

Thanks for checking in - L
