I think the boat could provide you with a decent shelter and a place to keep a lot fo your things. Not a bad idea, and I do note you have a had one. But when you put it someplace, think about the facilities for hygeine too. I think being able to get to some facilities would be key, so you need not pump out your tanks too often.

Hang in there.

Move out; or into only part of your house and rent out the rest. I knew a girl who kept her house by partitioning part of the lounge in her one bedroom apartment, so it became her bedroom.

When I told the mortgage company I had rented out my house and they said it was against the terms of my mortgage. I asked them to forclose. They never mentioned it again. But it would have been simpler to not tell them

A positive note: a colleague and former student has agreed to a provide me with an office in exchange for a certain number of hours of work on his files - starting tomorrow! It feels like a start, a foothold to begin building a new future.

Congrats on the positive note update, and on the positive thinking. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger right smile

What do you do?
Could you do any consulting online or write any how-to manuals?

That's great news! Sometimes, all you need is a toehold, and then you can boost yourself up.

How's your cat?

I worry about the cat. He is not going to understand or enjoy the inevitable transition.

I don't think I am going to be able to take him with me. My next places to stay are not likely to be cat-friendly.

He is an indoor-outdoor cat used to roaming. He apparently has this neighborhood figured out, but a new spot would feature new hazards he might not be prepared to survive.

I think for his sake I need to get him adopted by someone who is a homeowner.
