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
Today felt like the race against time sort of day, with one thing after another keeping me on my toes. Despite a busy schedule, I managed to add the new gallery featuring my copper plate and zinc etchings photos. That small bit of progress made me smile, although the looming Adobe Lightroom subscription issue keeps bugging me. With Adobe's repeated attempts to take payment, I must sort through and export more photos before they hold them hostage. There's quite the backlog.
The rest of the day involved quite a bit of juggling different tasks. I finished off pretty much all the newsletter tasks, but I'll give it one final check in the morning before recording. The brush height video update went smoothly, and it's now scheduled. Feeling good about nailing those major tasks helps, especially considering the estate agent visit was a disappointment.
Speaking of the estate agent, that meeting was ultimately frustrating! No new updates on the file since he's been catching up on his work post-holiday. The search raised, and questions answered, but still, no definitive "exchange" status. The uncertainty drags on, and I'll need to follow up tomorrow again. This cycle is draining but staying optimistic for better news.
Despite this, a high point of the day was the teaching lesson on spirals. It went well, and engaging with pen plotting concepts rejuvenated my spirits. Although today was busy, it ended on a productive note. Reflecting on the day, even with its setbacks, I got through the list of tasks confidently.
Overall, today was a mixed bag—successes balanced with small frustrations. However, completing critical tasks and sharing knowledge through teaching always leaves a satisfying feeling. Ready to tackle tomorrow's tasks with renewed focus and, hopefully, hear some progress on the estate.
