I think I’m going to go with a blend…
1. Vehicle benefits- pre-Covid, I was working from home 3 days a week. While we were deemed essential, Covid shifted us to over 99% remote/work from home. I have a long commute, so working from home has drastically reduced the wear and tear on my vehicle. DH has been home since Covid too. It’s even reduced our insurance. It’s also nice not wasting hours and all that gas sitting in traffic.
2. Sun protection- sunglasses, sunscreen, hats and rash-guards are coming to mind. I’m fairly photophobic, so glasses are important. DD15 has blue eyes, which are extra sensitive. While my melanoma excisions have shown little sun damage in the impacted areas, I still try and safeguard myself against the sun.
3. Pets- When I’m working from home, I can have the dog around to brighten up the day. She usually takes turns lounging behind me in my office, across the hall in bed, or around DH. She’ll also head butt my cracked door open to let me know if either of the kids are up or if someone just got home. I can’t get that in the office…the real office.
Honorable mention…we have one of those whole home water filters. We actually took it with us when we moved from our last house. I’m honestly not sure how much it filters out, but it makes our tap water like good bottled water, shower water feels nicer, and it helps with laundry.
