Well, looks like things may be looking up, I hope. It looked like I was gonna be moving out of my house last weekend, but my best friend gave me some much needed help at the last minute, thus buying me some more time. So, I have at least another month to either find a place or move, but at least this time I'm a...

Well, little has changed since last week, which isn't really a good thing. I had two potential roommates last week, neither went as planned. One of them found another place. The other, I was suppose to meet up with him, but he flaked out on me. And I've had yet another attempted scam, which I know what to look out for now, but still annoys...

Well, some bad news. The new roommate isn't gonna happen, and never was. It was a pretty old scam that I was stupid enough to fall for. Basically, they email you, sounding nice and legit, and then send you a check that's worth far more than what you asked for, and ask you to send the excess amount to a certain place (a travel agent...

Good news: The new roommate (her parents, I should say) has sent her check to me, which pretty much makes it official.

Bad news: My bank has put a hold on the check until Wednesday, thus putting a hold on the progress of the whole thing.

Now I'm both happy that this is following through, but frustrated as well due to my bank holding things...

Finally, some good news. Looks like the roommate search is over. Got a hit from a woman who's daughter is coming to school here from Canada. She'll be staying here at her parents' expense, which is perfectly fine with me. I'm waiting on the check for the first and last month's rent, and she should be arriving right after that. Things are finally looking up,...

So, it's day one after the new roommate. It's nice to have the house to myself again, at least for a while, and I've been celebrating by walking around the house naked. Also, an hour after posting my ad on Craigslist, I got a hit from a possibly good potential roommate, who if things work out will be in here by next week. That's the...

Well, it's officially done. The roommate opted to move out this weekend, and just got the last of her things and gave me the key an hour ago. The whole thing went more peacefully than I thought it would. I'm not happy with the way things have turned out, but it needed to happen. So, the good thing is that I have the house to...

So, the roommate found out about her fate a little sooner than planned. She happened to see one of my adds on Craigslist and asked me about it (although I'm kind of curious why she was looking in that section to begin with). She confronted me this morning about it, and I told her, and kept it very short and very clear. I said her...

Well, I'm two days away from getting my money from my roommate, and 3 away from telling her to find a new home. I still feel bad about having to to it, but she seems to find little ways of making the decision easy for me (like leaving her virus-filled tissues all over the coffee table and remote). She won't take the news well, not...

Well, 4 more days until I get my money from the roommate, and give her the bad news after. I'll admit, the more days go by, the harder it feels like it's gonna be. I've never kicked anyone out of a home before, and I don't like that I've been put in a position where I have to. But, then I remember that I've been...
