I've been where you are a few times, I wish I could be there now! But with a 15 month old boy and a new job, I am not bored.

I suggest you get yourself into something that is near the edge of your skillsets. Something you have always wanted to do, but haven't, and that will seriously challenge you. An example that worked for me several years ago: I admired people who could fly model airplanes in a competition called "pattern." Requires very precise flying in front of judges, and requires an airplane built to a high level of precision. The flying part was well outside my skillset, and the precision building skills took years to attain. I gained a bunch of drive and big sense of accomplishment by getting good at this hobby.

This particular activity isn't for most people, but something as challenging might be for you.
