Life is an interestingly complicated mess.
My professional life and my social life, has been going really well for me. As for my home life, dating life, and health not so much.
Professionally I have recently been praised by my employers an given a large raise in the neighborhood of $4000 a year. They also have recognized that I am overloaded with work and are trying to get me help and have asked that I be involved with the hiring process. I mentioned a bit about that before you go back and read more about it if you like. Then my own personal corporation is very busy too. I just recently got two new custom home designs offered to me, with one more to finish and a steel detailing job I need to finish up.
Socially, I have a few different circles I revolve in. I don't like being pigeon holed into one group or another. I like that my hobbies are so different that my social circles rarely intermingle. With that I get into lots of great conversations about things like, cars, guns, music, politics, sex, education, and travel. The travel circle has been getting tighter knit and inviting me to do more and more interesting things. Now I am not musically inclined (yet), but I am a serious appreciator and this circle is growing... the more I follow music the more interesting people I meet and the more I learn about new genre and new artists.
Now for the not going so well, almost bad, and quiet annoying stuff...
Firstly my home life, I have always been a person that watches out for others I care about. Maybe that's because I was the oldest child of 3 and the only boy, being raised by a single mother in later teen years of my life. At any rate, I have two roommates living in my 3 bedroom 1 bath, 900 sqft house. They being both male have girlfriends and both girlfriends stay here pretty much every day. So it's cramped in here. All roommates where supposed to be temporary, both have been here longer than a year and one almost two years now. One of the two girlfriends is from out of state. She was supposed be visiting for a few weeks to possibly find a place to stay and work. Well she's now been here 3 months, and to top it off she's about 5 months pregnant.
I am not happy with that at all... I do not want her to still be here in 3-4 months when that baby comes.
Secondly my dating life, what a fucking mess. The other girlfriend in this house, the one not pregnant is an ex of mine. We weren't ever in a so called committed relationship... but we dated for 6 months straight. And in that six months she had told me twice early on that she wanted a relationship... I told her lets give it 6 months to see how things go. 6 months came, I asked, she said not interested at this time, I said; "Goodbye"! Then three months later my other buddy moves in and guess who is helping him... yeah, the kinda ex... and yeah she's pretty much living here now. The greater picture gets even weirder... I have technically been single for six years.
In that six years I have dated a lot. None of which have worked out well at all the 6 month "kinda ex" was the longest and most stable relationship of them all. I just don't know what to do here, I gather I am doing something wrong but what? I think I need a dating coach or some kind of wing-man to help me out here.
And finally my health, being almost 40 now all kinds of things are starting to go wrong with my body. I am not going to give the dirty details but in the short I have a thyroid problem, which the doctor has been trying to fix for the past 6 months now and things keep going not as expected in his opinion, so he's sending me to an Endocrinologist. There are a few in town but the earliest I can get seen is November. Also I am have early signs of kidney and liver disease. I have high cholesterol levels and the doctor is telling me that I might be suffering from some kind of vascular disease or disorder because of it. The medical bills are racking up and I feel as though I am getting closer and closer to the poor house because of it. Luck I just got that raise... now if only I could get the roommates to pay their bills on time.
So that's my life to date in a nut shell. It's hard to believe this year is almost over already, while it's been more fantastic than last year it's also sucked much worse. Anyway I am still kicking and I guess that's all that matters.

That sucks man, I hope the doctors figure it out and it stops being expensive. Sounds like you still have some cool stuff around that makes you happy.
