I used to do 90 miles one way back when i was 20
It was tiring then. You come home and you are pooped , forget about doing any chores.
Weekends, you think of nothing but relaxing.
and that was when i still lived at home.
I then moved out, and things just wore me down fast.
House renovation, did not progress at all.

Now i have been doing a 50 mile commute, since 2007 , even that at times is a grind.
It's ok in summer during vacations if there is light and no road works.

But in winter, dark days, rain, it's extremely tiring.
I usually wake up at 5h30, so i can get in before the real traffic, in the dark
And then leave early, while there is still light before the real evenign traffic.

without that i'de go nuts, leaving in the dark, coming home in the dark.. depressing in winter months.
