I'm sorry to hear about your employment situation. You may want to give serious thought to renting out a room to a college student. You can either advertise for a roommate or go through a realtor (screening would be better). Don't plan too far ahead because you just never know what is around the corner and who knows...you just might find a good position elsewhere.
I wouldn't worry too much about him not calling to schedule the pick up of his hunting gear...when the notion strikes him, he'll call. Right now, his focus may be on something else entirely.
Your focus has to be on you for the time being....
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
