This is especially the case if you had no flights between your commutes in other aircraft.
Here’s why: “Legal Interpretation to E. Thomas Sisk (Mar. 18,2008); see a/so Legal Interpretation to Alfred Tenuta, Jr. (Apr. 17,1998). These interpretations allow a pilot to string together multiple legs to log a single cross-country flight. However, there is nothing in § 61. 1(b)(3)(ii) or previous FAA interpretations dictating how separate flights must be logged. Accordingly, the pilot may choose what is considered a flight and what is merely a segment of a flight, and then log that flight time appropriately when the flight is conducted.”
That is straight from the FAA chief counsel’s office here is a link to that legal interpretation from the FAA website:

Feel free to read it for full context. Hope I’ve been able to help. Good luck on your written, and perhaps someone else with more experience could also weigh in.
This joker has been banned with good reason, but a comment is appropriate regarding the quote above.
It's clear that the banned poster doesn't understand the import of the legal counsel letter of interpretation which he referenced. That partial quote, out of context and inappropriate here, regards the logging of cross country time on consecutive legs which individually may not meet cross country requirements.
The legal interpretation cited is wholly inappropriate and irrelevant here, as the banned poster was responding to the OP, who logged time by the month. Two entirely different subjects, and the use of the above legal interpretation, improperly applied and clearly not understood by the user, speaks to ignorance of both the subject of the thread, and the legal application.
The original poster didin't cite his cross country time or how it's logged.
On a separate note, if one is retired at age 35 and bored, one is probably doing fairly well in life.
