Housesitting

Is there any feeling weirder than housesitting?

I'm staying at the home of old family friends who just got married. I take care of the cats, get the mail and water the plants. And drive way too far to get to work every day.

It's a weird idea staying in someone's home when they're not there. Am I doing something wrong? Would she freak out about the way I'm treating her kitchen? Am I totally messing the place up?

I refuse to answer her phone (it would just be her mom checking up on me). I'm doing laundry. Is that strange?

Oh, and she lives really close to where I went to college so there's this whole eerie feel to things...
