Hi Blue,
This is sort of a practical idea. If your home has separate rooms, you might rent out the rooms. One college summer, I found a house like that. The man and his wife and child live on the first floor. He rents out each bedroom on the second floor and everyone shares a bathroom. He has each renter sign an agreement upon moving in that they will maintain "library-like" quietness, no smoking, no drinking, no overnight guests--and that the environment will be good for study. You could make guidelines that fit for you, but this worked with medical students and college students for short-term stays. Or, you could post for a roommate at a local college and be very specific about what qualities are non-negotiable. If a person doesn't abide, you can ask her to leave. Because there is no lease. Just an idea!
I hope you are okay today. There are caring and compassionate people on this board who are very wise. I just got here myself and already feel so supported. I wish you well, do something kind for yourself today.
