The nearest bakery is almost a 30 minute walk. To live closer I'd need to triple my income to afford a home.

Yes, I live far from the office (which is at a hospital) but I'm technically a work from home position because they give me a laptop and phone and I'm only required to come in every couple months. I work with hospice patients in their homes, so I have to drive to their houses with a trunk full of supplies that can't be reasonably packed into a single bag for other types of alternative travel. Plus, living in a Chicago suburb means going to work in sub zero to single digit weather, sometimes severe storms, and life stressing heat. A car and travel is mandatory for my job.

It would be beautiful if I could access a bakery and be out in 5 minutes, but it's not an option. So I live the apparent tragedy of less than ideal sandwiches lol .
