didn't really care either way lol so I don't have an appropriate photo 
Sophie is gorgeous! I hope they are reassured that you are NOT going anywhere!I've been working from home since March 2020. It's become permanent. We had two offices that we worked from and one has been closed for good. The other is for IT only. I love it. The girls (especially Sophie) love it even more than I do. The downside? Sophie gets upset if she thinks I'm going somewhere. She will frantically follow me around the house. I have to explain to her what I'm doing and if I really am going out to the store or something I have to reassure her that I'll be back soon. Every time I get back she's waiting in the kitchen window. When I pull into the driveway she will jump down and run to the door to meet me. Lily's normally not as dramatic. She'll start following me too but once I explain what I'm doing she calms down. Our trash and recycling get picked up on Wednesday. On Tuesday I was bringing things out to the pails and they got it into their heads that I was moving away.
It took me several trips to get everything out there since it's just me doing it. I'd go out, they'd panic. I'd come in, they'd relax. This went on until I was done and the pails were at the curb.
Here's Sophie sitting on the desk su-purr-vising me during the day. She also likes to sit in the chair right behind me or on the headrest sometimes.

oh, babies!!
Yeah, IT wreaks havoc on the hands and wrists. I got rid of a nasty ganglion cyst on my mousing hand over time. It was huge and although it didn't hurt, it was demoralizing for me to have such an ugly thing on my hand!oh, babies!!
I myself never got the opportunity to work from home, but I think I'd've loved it, depending on the job. I looked into medical transcription at one point but I don't think my wrist (broken in a fall from a horse) would have been able to take it.
Thank you.
I had a medical transcription business at home for years. I gave it up after about 12 years when I started developing carpal tunnel syndrome. I was wearing wrist braces and in pain all the time. Fortunately it resolved over time after I quit doing that kind of work.oh, babies!!

Neely's in full control of the mouse, I seeTeaching Special Ed. there's no way I could ever work from home except for after school work, e.g. lesson plans, modules, IEP's, etc. Neely took over the computer so I had to end up getting a laptop, lol.

Always the BEST study-buddies, CEOs, COOs and CFOs.
Caring for an elderly parent is so hard. I took care of my late mother-in-law who had dementia.
Bless your heart for looking after your mum; we need carer pensions here in the U.S. instead of those "nursing homes."
It’s not a job I’d wish on anyone, tbh. My mother has vascular dementia from a stroke. At least it’s not Alzheimers, there’s no personality changes or sundowning and so on.
I’m always grateful that, poor though our social security payments are, at least we have them! In all honesty if I had had a job that paid the rent I probably would have put Mum in a home long since, but even when we were both working - and they weren’t minimum wage jobs by a long way - we couldn’t afford to live separately.
