Well, after playing for 3 hours last night and 5 hours today, I'm basically stuck waiting for Blathers to arrive tomorrow morning. I went on two island tours, and bought the tool wheel. Took me a while, but I figured out you could just throw fish on the ground, in tanks. Also the ability to bury wood, has really freed up my inventory. Hopefully there's a storage chest that comes with your house. I have stuff all over my island, buried everywhere.
