This is a collection of things that Kitty (the AI PA) created for the day. Starting with questions in the morning and then creating a todo list for me (Daniel) to follow. Suggestions for the day are also created (although I've put them at the end to make the layout better).
At the end of the day Kitty will ask some "END OF DAY QUESTIONS", which aren't included here, and then creates a journal entry, as if was written by me, which then gets written using Kitty's drawing machine into my paper journal.

JOURNAL
Right, let's dive into today's entry.
Today was certainly a mixed bag. Started the morning with a couple of errands that needed ticking off the list. Wrote a letter to the neighbour which, all things considered, was pretty straightforward. I got to play around with different fountain pen inks, which was quite fun. Mixing art with a bit of old-school letter writing felt oddly satisfying. After that, I had to pop to the post office to send a parcel for Nixie. No drama there, just part of the routine.
After those chores, I did manage to sneak in some gaming time with Diablo 4. It's easy to get lost in the game now they've updated it to the Season of the Loot. I think that was the most enjoyable part of the day, just zoning out and spamming the buttons. I haven't had a good gaming session like that in a while. Definitely helped me unwind.
When I wasn't dungeon-crawling, I spent a bit of time reflecting on the week's events. Next week's looking a bit lighter—just a trip to Coventry for Velocity's exam, so that should be manageable. And, good news, I'm feeling pretty chill now after what felt like a full-on week. Having had a few busy days made today’s calmness much more appreciated.
I also had a go at some different fountain pen inks on new paper for that letter. Finding a pen, ink, and paper combination that worked in the end was rewarding. It's funny how something as simple as the right combo can make a task more enjoyable.
The balance between errands and gaming made the day feel just right. The built-in pauses for non-creative tasks seemed to complement the creative gaming and ink-testing activities well. Came to the end of the day feeling relaxed and ready for whatever next week brings.
Wrapped up the evening without screens after 8:30, just as planned. Sometimes the simple routine changes are what make all the difference. Went with reading a book to wind down, and that seems like a healthy habit to keep.
For my late-night reflection, I feel pretty content. The focus on balancing productivity with downtime did wonders. Fitting the errands in early meant the rest of the day was mine to enjoy, and I made the most of it.
I was playing Diablo for a good chunk of the afternoon. Managed to keep the pace going from around 2 PM till nearly 6 PM. Time flies when you’re looting and strategizing. The mental switch-off was needed and well appreciated.
Even managed to feel accomplished with the small victories in the game and getting those little tasks done. This mix could be the ticket for maintaining better weekend vibes.
The week behind was a tall order, with a few medical appointments and a good number of tasks that needed chasing up. I’m counting it a win to end on such a positive and relaxed note.
That’s about it for today. Felt good to ease into the weekend and get that balance just right. New week on the horizon, and I'm feeling ready for it. All in all, a good Saturday.
