Thankfully he drives a Chevy Malibu that gets good gas mileage so that helps. He's looking to start driving his motorcycle but wants new brakes on it before he starts riding it for distance and in city traffic.

Damn.  Him and Eric are committed.  I feel for y’all.  That’s gotta be strenuous.  I know it’ll get worse before it gets  better.  But hopefully not too bad. It’s a catch 22 trying to live away from the chaos as well as trying to earn a living. Thoughts and prayers to both y’all and any other doing the same.

Thanks man. If hubby wasn't fully involved in his career he would look closer for something else. He used to work five minutes from where we live but changes in upper management around 12-13 years ago led him to transfer to his current location. The domicile was paid for and he wasn't looking to take on a mortgage payment for an hour's drive. At the time no big deal. 

More than a decade on and 14 hours away from home every work night- he's ready to be done with it. The current situation doesn't help. Retirement is not an option yet so we suck it up and drive on and trust the Creator to provide what we need.
