Your wife is a bit younger though, and if I remember correctly what she does, she would probably have quite a few options down there. Not so sure about my options in that respect and the opportunities aren't as abundant as hers would be.
I'm like you - if I decide to work, give me something menial at this point in my life. I'm not good at doing NOTHING either so I'm sure I'll be doing something.
My husband, on the other hand, who is in the same profession as I am has been done with it for 5+ years now. It's an early burnout job for those who work it full-time. But he does not lack the desire to be productive either. Give him a yard to landscape, or a kitchen to tear out, or a car to work on, etc, and you would think he was NOTHING but 30 again. However, the next day always reminds him he's definitely not - lol.

Yeah, the wife has been an RN her entire adult life. She worked in one of Southern California's busiest trauma centers for almost 20 years. When we moved up here she did 5 years in the ER, 5 years in ICU now 5 years in IV Therapy. She really likes IV therapy since she doesn't have to lift patients anymore. Doesn't have to deal with families and doesn't have to clean poop.. Plus she walks about 6 miles per shift since she covers the entire house. NOTHING better than getting paid to do your daily exercise..
I'm sure I'll spend the first year riding around on a new golf cart getting to know the neighborhood.. lol
