What am I doing with my life?

It’s mid afternoon on Labor Day. My wife is resting in the bedroom as I type from the couch. Our little dog is staring out the window as if the void itself is calling her name. My neighbor just informed me that her little dog slipped out of his harness the other day and was run down by a car. She’s devastated. I’m terrified.
