The lazy days of summer feel enforced upon us here - try to do much and you risk your life in the heat.

When Jon mentioned clearing out log files it reminded me of layers of old desktop files that I've dropped into folders and moved into the next computer with each replacement, intending to pull the files out and put them to use. Sometimes I did, but often I made a desktop shortcut to the folder and never really unpacked it. I ended up with a lot of duplicate files and convoluted storage. So this afternoon I have stayed in my office chair and sorted through and reorganized a lot of that.

I try to not use the computer default desktop because it lives on the C: drive; I use a small SSC for all of the programs for speed and keep data on the older HDD drives. I move the Desktop file to the D: drive, but still stuff builds up so I also will check the status of the SSD space.

There are now 1,246 items in the Recycle Bin, soon to be emptied. And I need to take a break to do some Essentrics stretches because my back is going to complain about the sedentary day.
