I own a small but profitable antiques business.

Plus I am a small timber grower.

Plus I manage my financial investments for income.

Plus I take care of my brain damaged husband who is slowly dying and requires 24-hour care, though he is still highly functional in some respects, enough so that I can leave him alone or take him with me when I am engaged in activities outside of the house.

I don't use any of the above to identify myself to others if it is outside the scope of my business. Most people who meet me assume I am retired because I rarely discuss what I do. How I spend my time to make money or my responsibilities as a care giver do not identify me because the totality of who I am is more than what people can ever see or perceive.

I don't go nuts from the stress because I bike everyday.
