My apartment is actually 400 square feet, not 800 square feet.
As if I didn't lose enough already with this damn divorce.
I was chatting with Jaded last night on and we were talking about whether it would be a good idea for me to take the back apartment which is larger...I don't want to kick my tenant out because she is a nice woman with 2 kids, has been living there for a couple of years now, always pays her rent and I just can't do it to her.
Besides, eventually I am going to move to a better place. I don't want to live above my office for another 10 years...
So anyway, last night I couldnt sleep and just for the heck of it, I was going through floor plans in my head just playing with "what if" scenarios...if the tenant did say she was leaving, would I move to the back apartment..what would i do with the extra room...and then I realized that the two square footages of the apartments do not add up to what my office is...so then it hit me that my apartment is not 800 square feet, it's actually 400 square feet, the larger apartment is 800 square feet.
I feel like a..sardine or something. I should move. Maybe.

Its only numbers in your head. You felt cramped when you thought it was 800 sq feet, now you feel squished. the apt didn't change, your head did.

See, now there's the guy I've gotten to glimpse into his heart. You play tough, but you're a marshmallow. ;D I don't recall where you live, but pretend like you're in New York and sardines are kewl.

What could be better?

I told you months ago there was NO way that place was 800 sq foot. Just was impossible.
Anyhoo, knowing it doesn't make it any different. It is still suitable, right?
I am sorry you didn't sleep well...thanks to allergies i sleep like a rock as soon as i decide it is beddy bye time.
Why don't you share your story about the friends with the forum? LOL I have not laughed that hard in ages. LOL
Unless it is already here somewhere and i missed it. That will help lighten your mood.

Good points guys...thanks.
Its like anything else, two ways to look at it.
On one hand I lost a beautiful house..on the other I have a nice little apartment and no commute to work.
I do live in NY by the way..

if you're in or near the city, 400 square feet is a freakin' palace, not to mention a goldmine. and no commute is priceless.

Is it like a studio apt? You are kind to let the woman and 2 kids keep the bigger place.

The kitchen is at one end of the living room and is basically a strip of countertop, sink and cabinets. Bathroom is just big enough for a stall shower, too tight for me to bend and wash my toes.
