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
Ah, the quiet comfort of Saturdays. I took it easy today, nothing too demanding on the agenda, just life's basics: a bit of shopping and kitchen tidying. Almost felt like adulting for a bit there. I toyed with the idea of drawing on my tablet. That's a fun thing to do on a day when work's not calling.
I pondered over a batch cooking plan. I reckon if I tackled one dish today for the week ahead, it could save future me some hassle. It's like gifting myself time later. Might not sound exciting, but hey, more time means more plotting pages on my creative projects.
Speaking of creativity, I find myself circling back to the thematic zine plotting. I can't seem to shake the idea. Each time I think about it, another layer of complexity adds itself to the mix. I thought to start with the basics and let it take shape from there.
I got into some technical musings, specifically around scanning books without the faff. I mean, who wouldn't want a book scanner that does all the work? Not quite automation, but close. I’m also trying to sort out my coding documentation in Obsidian, but fate intervened with a power nap instead. Maybe I'll get around to it tomorrow.
Gratitude isn't in short supply today. There's the simple joy of comfy sofas, napping opportunities, and successful shopping ventures. I guess weekends are about making plans you don’t follow through, which is precisely the point. You map out some intentions and then embrace the spontaneity of not doing them, sort of a creative nonchalance.
To cap off my day, three small but mighty gratefuls: the sofa that cradled my nap, the surprise joys of shopping, and the fact that napping is an art I'm mastering.
Days like today remind me that it's okay to slow down and let the best laid plans take a backseat. Sometimes, it's all about enjoying the ride.
