Living Tiny in the Largest City

    It's hard not to go to New York City and compare everything to a television show.  When we moved Doubles Shark-Whisperer into her apartment, shows like Will and Grace, Friends, How I Met Your Mother, and even some movies were brought up like it was how you were supposed to live your life as a New Yorker.  We compared a bridge in Central Park to one in Law and Order where we were sure to see a detective chasing after a bad guy.  We found a parking place and referenced Seinfeld refusing to move the vehicle until we had to.  We  listened to the awfully crackled-up train conductor announce the next station while thinking of the subway-fluent Lily on How I Met Your Mother.  We ate at a local pizza place and thought of Miranda and Carrie from Sex in the City.  What we never compared, however, was the size of Doubles Shark-Whisperer's apartment.  The comedian, Seinfeld, the architect, Ted, and the writer, Carrie, could evidently live in a highly spacious apartment that actually had walls to divide rooms.  Our traveling nurse, Doubles Shark-Whisperer, learned the truth about living in New York City.  Live small at home but big when out on the town.  Here's the tour.....

This is the kitchen....I mean bedroom.....

This is the living room.....I mean dining room....I mean hallway.....I mean bedroom.....

And in all of this tiny-ness, this is the view.....

    I feel quite confident that Doubles Shark-Whisperer will get along just perfectly in such a tiny apartment.  She tends to lose things so being in a small home may give her a step forward in finding her lost items.  For instance, Doubles Shark-Whisperer will come to visit us for a night and will pack five bags.  I never said she was a light packer.  After she parks her vehicle to come up to our apartment (which I now find quite spacious), she will place her phone in one of the five bags and her keys in another.  Yes, one of these five bags will be a purse, and that being the logical place to put such items, they never make it in.  Two seconds after she has put her phone somewhere, she will be searching for it.  With this in mind, you can see that her living in such a small space could be quite beneficial.  Everything is conveniently located only a few steps away.  It may get confusing when describing where it is....Kitchen, bedroom, etc. but easy to locate.  Although the apartment may be tiny, she has the country's largest city just outside her door to play in and dozens of television shows that have trained her for such an assignment.
