So here’s my current living situation:

• Sold the house last week. December 22nd.
• New place is not expected to close until February with no dates set in stone yet.
• Update: New place in the city fell through. Thanks, Halstead Property.
• The wife, kid, and dogs are in Poughkeepsie with the wife’s parents. 
• I’m subletting in the city to avoid 4 hours of commute time daily.
• I visit on the weekends.
• After the new place closes, we’re all back under the same roof again.
• Update: A new development has stalled the pursuit of a new place until Mid-March.
• Update: We’re looking into hotels now.
• 
  

So when I’m done with work, I’ve got very little to do. It turns out I need to work or problem solve or else I don’t know what to do (which I understand is a problem to solve as well).

Update: I have since packed my post-work schedule with things to keep me entertained or busy during the week.

Now you know.
