Where has the time gone

     I've been gone for a long time. Perhaps too long. I've have not written anything since August and it seems my life has been preoccupied with the stress of living with other people. My divorce taught me how to live and depend on myself. I lived alone for about 5 1/2 months before I got a room mate. Now I have two and they're driving me nuts. The room mate situation is purely for financial reasons. I would rather live alone but the house I was renting was a lot of money. The room mate I acquired was through a Craigslist ad. He was a bit annoying at times and his quirks were a bit stressing for my personality but in hindsight he wasn't that bad. I lived with him for 10 months before I broke my lease and moved into a friend's house. One of my friend's co-workers also moved into the house.
     Eleven months later and I'm ready to move out. I hate to blame my issues on other people but I feel like I'm living with Brennan and Dale from Step Brothers. Two grown men that are suffering from Man-Child Syndrome and I can't take it anymore. Recently (as I write this) I had to spend the night at Hope's house because one of my room mates got so drunk he left the upstairs shower running for over an hour and the house flooded causing extensive damage to the house. In essence, my house became the "cold, wet wind tunnel house from hell" due to all the fans and dehumidifiers running non-stop to counteract the water damage. I've thought about moving out but my Debt to Asset ratio is in the red.
     My 2013 New Year resolution is to pay off all credit debt by November. So far I'm on track but some serious budgeting is in order. My stressful living conditions have taken a toll on my personal life as well. I don't socialize with friends and my relationship with Hope has become standoffish at best. For now I've told myself to simply "grit and bear it" but I know I can only do that for so long.
