I used to have a hard time letting stuff go if it was just going to be thrown in the trash. But like you, I tend to use stuff (especially clothing) until it wears out, so I've had to come to terms with the fact that I got my money's worth out of it and nobody needs a shirt with a hole in it, or a pair of shoes with no treads on them anymore.
I don't feel I've acquired much, since my wife passed. On the other hand, I've not made much of an effort to "thin the herd" either, so I think I have a fairly good picture of what you're facing. Best of luck!
Congratulations on getting a new computer! Sounds like it will definitely be a relief once you're all set up at home with your wifi so you don't have to go to the library anymore!
I have the same issue with my dentist. They really push to have their clients come in every six months, but if I ever have to reschedule, they go, "Well the next available appointment we have is four months from now."
Single occupant toilet rooms may be the future; but, I still remember a unisex bathroom in Turkey with individual enclosed stalls (not semi-open which is common in the US).
It's cool you got to spend time with family, even if some of that time was threatened by a decibel-level event. I completely sympathize with your desire to declutter. I have more stuff than you can shake a stick at that didn't actually belong to just my wife or myself throughout the house.
As I understand it, the legal aspects of doing fan fiction only come into effect if you try to make money or some tangible benefit for yourself. You can write whatever for fun. Otherwise, you need to get permission.
I think cell phone companies have their own vocabulary. Unlimited /data to me means there are no limits. You can look up all you want, text all you want, etc. I understand storage of deleted messages and photos is a separate issue. Three months in a row, I have gotten notices that 90% of my data has been used up. Once I went over!
How can you decipher 90% of "unlimited"? How can you use all of "unlimited"? Was there some fine print I missed about what "unlimited" means?
I have stopped researching things on Safari. I don't send texts or answer the calls (mostly SPAM). Still I've used 90% or all of my data plan.
