wherein Liz acquires new neighbors

The upstairs apartment is inhabited again!

Upstairs Neighbor K, her partner Upstairs Neighbor P, and her (maybe their? the introduction was slightly unclear and I didn't want to ask for clarification while P and his father were unloading a U-haul truck in the drizzle and rapidly fading twilight) daughter Mini Upstairs Neighbor S moved in this afternoon and evening. I happened to be going out on a grocery run, so I introduced myself and am currently leaving my front room curtains open to provide them a bit of extra light as they move their final items.

I will report more as I learn it. :)

---------------

For reference, I live in a house that is subdivided into four apartments: two upstairs, two downstairs. I am in the south downstairs unit, which is larger than I really need but it's in a great location (an easy 20-minute walk to the Commons, and right on a bus route out to the mall!) and I would rather too much space than too little, so.

The unit across from me is inhabited by Downstairs Neighbor S, who moved in ~1 year after I did. She has a cat, but it's a very people-shy indoor cat, so I have never seen it. Before S, the unit was inhabited first by Downstairs Neighbor L and Downstairs Neighbor M, and then for about six months by their subtenant whose name I never learned.

The unit diagonal to me (upstairs from S's unit) is inhabited by Diagonal Neighbor T, Diagonal Neighbor Z, and their very chatty indoor/outdoor cat, Wilson. They moved in last year. Before them it was briefly inhabited by the asshole diagonal neighbors I never met, who trashed the place. Before them, it was inhabited by Diagonal Neighbor P, her teenage daughter N, P's succession of terrible boyfriends, and for the final six months, P's puppy, an absurd and adorable corgi-pitbull cross. Before P, it was inhabited by Diagonal Neighbor K, Diagonal Neighbor N, and their two sons.

The unit above me used to be inhabited by Upstairs Neighbor E, Upstairs Neighbor T, and Mini Upstairs Neighbor C, who moved out at the end of July. Before them it was inhabited by Upstairs Neighbor A and Upstairs Neighbor R, and then briefly also by their child whose name and gender entirely escape me.

I moved into my current apartment in June 2009. I've outlasted a lot of neighbors. *wry*
