Re <<sell>>
You can consider waiting ~week for the actual selling of the shares at ~current Bid, and now immediately now do:
(1) Short covered Call Feb 28th Strike 890 @ 39.75 per share, and at end-day 28th ...
(1-a) Should the shares not be called, tell wife, “I sold, got non-refundable deposit, but the deal did not close”, or
(1-b) Should the shares be call, tell wife, I sold 20th Feb, it closed today. Please cut me a check for handling fee of 39.75 per share.
(2) If brave you or inattentive but forgiving wife, simultaneously short Put Feb 28th Strike 890 @ 39.05
(2-a) Should the shares be Put to you, say “oops, I clicked wrong icon; fat finger; whatever; it is a good stock anyway; besides you got paid 39.75+39.05 or almost 9% dividend for holding 7-days”
(2-b) Should the shares not be put to you, but called away (the ones you hold today), say “am I not brilliant? I got you ~9% more on intention-to-sell by procrastinating a week.”
(3) Good volatility is hard to come by these days, so when find it on a company w/ modicum of merit, use it
(3-a) If by chance you got called and put the same day, - shares and then + shares, net neutral, you say, “I can sell tomorrow, but we got a bonus dividend today booked for ~9%”
Or
(3-b) “am unsure what happened, but why don’t you cut me a check for the 9% that isn’t really yours, and let me return it to the market by and by?”
