    May purge

    Digital purging:

    Cleared out thousands of screenshots and unwanted photos from Google Photos, going back to 2009

    I try to delete photos from ICloud storage each week. I pay $.99 per month for storage.

    iCloud is more a sync service. Google is much better for long term storage. I pay $20/year for 100 GB of storage. I’m also a heavy Google Drive user.

    But I NEED the sync service.

    which reminds me, all of a sudden, my calendar is not syncing. God, I am so annoyed when this random tech crap happens. I have no time to delve into this for the next several weeks. And I’m ignoring any advice that tells me to uninstall the calendar and reinstall it because I’m extremely fearful I’ll lose anything already written on the calendar.

    One time I went to the Apple Store and they had to fiddle with my calendar and when I asked if all the entries would remain, they told me the entries would remain. The entries did NOT remain.

    I use iCloud for sync as I have an iPhone and two iPads. Google Photos is the long term storage. I have a 50GB iCloud plan. I’m well under the max.

    In the process of reorganizing photos from photo albums to a photo organizer. Grouping things like all photos of oldest, all photos of youngest, all photos of boys together, vacation photos, pet photos, etc.

    Two photo albums have been emptied and decluttered. Three more to go.

    Just stripped 3/4 of the flooring from the firstfloor laminate and took it to the dumpster. Will finish this weekend. Then it will sit until the installer (and the kitchen remodel) goes forward the end of June. Had to be done now before the kitchen demo in two weeks. Husband was enthusiastic so took advantage of that.

    The Armstrong laminate that was in the house wore well over 28 years but was not waterproof or even resistant. Took no tools to get it up after starting.

    Good luck with your kitchen remodel! Ours involved quite a bit of upheaval during the process, but it was so worth it in the end!

    UGH! After my trip, I need to do this. Maybe not purge everything, but definitely get stuff off my phone and organized.
