The tables have turned in my world.
I'm RE, the wife and I are FI.
The wife works, she's an MA, in a small family practice office.
She is supposed to be the office supervisor but these days she's the office supervisor, an MA taking samples for covid tests, tech support for the doctors trying to implement telemedicine, supply wrangler (there are none...) and much much more.
My last 10 years in the military were high-stress, phone calls all weekend/all hours of the night, and she worked/took care of the homestead.
Now that I'm RE/doing gig/side work/remote work, I'm taking care of the homestead, trying to reduce her stress in every way.
This weekend she worked in the yard to de-stress, I kept the house clean, cooked up a storm, and have been handling all the groceries/homestead needs while she does her thing.
My main goal is to not get sick so I can support her, if she gets sick, that's one thing, if I go down I can't take care of her/19 year old in the house (who can take care of herself unless she's sick too) and my 71 year old father who lives with us, my mission, stay healthy so I can take care of them...
The value of the "stay at home" gig highlighted.
I hope this finds everyone doing well. Cheers,
Tim
