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
Tuesday, another day of jury duty. I turned up at the court building, hoping it would be a quick in-and-out situation. Spoiler: it wasn't. The day dragged on, with me parked in the waiting room, just in case I was needed. I wasn't, of course. Sitting on those uncomfortable chairs was challenging — the laptop really doesn't balance well on your lap, despite the name.
I did manage to work a bit on the code for the zines, generating algorithms so the pages arrange correctly when folded. It was a nice little victory, especially since my creative juices haven't been flowing much with all this jury duty hanging over me. The thought of a semi-automatic zine collating system is pretty exciting, and it feels good to have made some progress there.
Being kind to myself mainly involved not pushing too hard. I just sat and let my thoughts wander. It wasn’t exactly relaxing, always feeling like I was about to be called up, but I got by. There was no sense of time to relax as you never knew when they'd need you. It's tough to unwind when you're constantly on alert.
There was a glimmer of creativity today. I didn't design any zine pages directly, but coding the system to arrange them was an unexpected delight. Turning something complex into a streamlined process was pretty rewarding. Definitely turned some stress into something constructive.
The day ended without any major changes — just more waiting and trying to find solace in small achievements. Reflecting on all the sitting around, I am grateful for the jury system, even if it's somewhat of a drag. Better to be a spare juror than to have to sit through the unpleasant details of a case.
Playing Diablo at the end of the day helped switch my brain off. The game's new pets addition is neat, a small joy to wrap up a long and boring day. Here’s hoping tomorrow brings a bit more action or, better yet, a swift end to my jury duty stint.
