I hope things work out with your wife.

Do what works for you and what feels right. When my kids are older, I'm going to get back into volunteering. I miss the people and shared goal - that was easily the best part of that lifestyle.

Thanks. She has a lot of things that are just not going to get better so its mostly a mitigation strategy as well as a prioritizing of medical issues. Mostly we are just appreciating the heck out of the simple things while we got them. Roof over head, food in belly, bills paid, its the bomb. Im almost glad about enshitification in the sense it makes it so easy to do this stuff. I mean I tell you im not super tempted to take a vacation involving a flight right now.
