Mandaris

I don’t know how others are able to just keep their homes in order. I just look at the stuff sometimes and find myself overwhelmed.

Inspired by Hemispheric Views 097 - Duel of the Defaults! and others in the community, I thought I would post a list of defaults.

• 📨 Mail Client: Mail.app
• 📮 Mail Server: Fastmail (But I've got the family email on google)
• 📝 Notes: Notes.app (But I'm not very good at referring to them later)
• ✅ To-Do: Reminders/OmniFocus
• 📷 iPhone Photo Shooting: Camera
• 🟦 Photo Management: Photos
• 📆 Calendar: iCloud/Calendar with a splash of BusyCal
• 📁 Cloud File Storage: iCloud
• 📖 RSS: NetNewsWire
• 🙍🏻‍♂️ Contacts: Contacts (I _loved_ Cardhop but couldn't justify the cost. BusyContacts is now the one I go to when I want to do more than just add information.)
• 🌐 Browser: I separate my browsing with different browsers. Safari and Vivaldi are primary and Firefox (both regular and dev) for other stuff.
• 💬 Chat: Messages.app

Rob Knight has a wonderful collection of people who are sharing what their default applications are.

Sometimes, I just like to take the picture and enjoy the feeling that it brings to me.

Unfortunately, we had a little accident and had to go the urgent care today. I grow more and mormore unhappy with the American healthcare system as this place doesn’t show up as an option for care when we use the different applications that our insurance companies provide.

I’m going to be thankful because it means that we can hopefully be seen soon.

Short and sweet. I don’t watch a lot of the Wes Anderson movies but this one will definitely make me think about adding more to my life. It’s a story within a story with a lot of dialogue so if that isn’t for you than feel free to skip it.

It took me a while to get to this one. I really enjoyed the first one because of songs and side characters. I feel that if you liked the first one, you’ll like this one as well. My only hesitation is that the sex is more in your face than the previous season.

I don’t know if they will have another season, but I know that I’ll definitely be listening to them in the car.

The show continues the trend of just putting me on edge. To be honest, the blood and gore are actually scenes that cut the tension for me. These character are in a world that does not wish them well unless it’s for financial gain.

With all the horrible things going on, some would wonder how I can watch a show where a puppet representation of a person is ripped to pieces. For that, I think it’s because it’s more unlikely than some of the violence that happens near my home.

Anyway, back to the show.

The actors are still doing a great job of bringing the characters to life. In an unreal world, they make me care about them and root for them no matter how bad they can get.

Kathy and Jay are feeling the burn(out) well maybe the steps before the burnout.

Some of the stuff that [@kjaymiller](https://micro.blog/kjaymiller) was talking about really hit home. I've been putting a lot of mental energy into projects when my focus should be elsewhere.

It’s kind of embarrassing that I lost this thing that I’ve put all my thoughts, plans, and feelings into for the last couple of months. Now I’m wondering around my home trying to decide if I should continue looking for it, create a temporary one (basically the closest sheet of paper that will ultimately be lost), or, prepare a new notebook.
