Living arrangements

Over the last month, I've been sort of living between 3 places. Or rather, I've had my belongings spread between them.

Mid-June, I started a 2 week house-sit looking after Piper the cat. Bit by bit I'd bring a bag over from home. It was a challenge keeping track of it all. When my friend came to visit, she stayed with me there. Between the 2 of us, it started to look like a bomb site what with all our things everywhere. When the house-sit was extended for a few more days, another friend arrived, who also stayed there with us.

To add another factor into the equation, it all coincided with me moving to my own place just outside of town. It became mine on June 22nd, so I started moving things over there after that date.

When leaving the house-sit, we were running around cleaning up after ourselves up until just before the owners returned home. A few things were left, as expected, but not bad, considering.

Now I'm fully moved in at the new place – except for a few items still at the old place... and except for some items I bought from a girl leaving the island in August.

And to think, I arrived here with only 3 suitcases!
