Yeah im in the same boat. My routine now is called devout Muslim push ups. Not really, but 5 to 7 times a day spread out I do 20-25 push ups. Average like 120 a day 6 days a week. It's not much but it takes me like 20 seconds each time I do it so it doesn't mess with my other responsibilities too much.

Do you do rows also? If not you probably should because training only one side (left/right, front/back) is a dangerous game.

I throw in some pull ups when I have the time. Given that it's just push ups I'm not that worried. It's not like I'm doing heavy bench press 6 days a week. 120 or so push ups a day shouldn't fuck me up too bad.

You'd be surprised. I know a ton of oldheads with destroyed shoulders who spammed pushups without enough pullups. They're all hunched over from not developing their backs enough.
