It is totally worth it but the day of the trip I always come home exhausted and it's hard to be 100% grateful that day. Today I am grateful even though I'm still really tired. The traffic jam I wasn't expecting yesterday really was a lot because the whole time I was watching the clock and knowing that leaving early was still turning into arriving late. I got overwhelmed. But today it is better again. I just will be staying in a motel the night before my GI appointment which is earlier in the day so I don't have to deal with the same stress.
