I guess it’s the primal instincts doing their bids, or maybe our apartment IS that dirty… Grace and I have been going on a surge of “nesting” moves in cleaning the apartment. Brian said Birgit and he went through similar exercise when they were expecting… Somehow I don’t remember as clearly when we did this with Bryan.<\/p>\n
So we have cleared out lots of stuff we no longer needed and donated them to HOPE<\/a>. And I am happy to say that the last two PCs have also been “removed” and maybe people at HOPE can find better uses for them. The only places that Microsoft Windows exist are on our Macs as virtual machines. Woohoo! But I will miss them as I owe much of my Linux knowledge to tinkering with Linux on them. Grace and I were talking about how “stuff” just get accumulated even though we really don’t buy anything at all (except books in my case; but even with that I try to get from the public library as much as I can).<\/p>\n Coincidentally, Jason blogged about “stuff” yesterday. It’s really an excellent animated flim<\/a>. Actually, I think it’s the best I’ve seen to have explained things in such a short and concise manner but still keeping everything so positive. I loved it. I do feel a little guilty about having so much stuff… But then I remember we probably have the least amount of stuff among most of our friends.
