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 was a mix of tiny victories and minor roadblocks, typical mid-week shuffle. Settled in early, eager to dive into pen plotting experiments. I thought I’d nailed it, but turns out I discovered a whole new set of what I can't do with it. Still, the process of figuring out workarounds turned into a mini-adventure. Learned a lot, even if it felt like two steps forward, one step back.

My workspace got a bit of a makeover. Spent some time corralling pens and bits into small storage boxes. Not the most thrilling task, but it's all part of the grand plan to get the studio floor ready for painting next week. It's like a dance, moving things around to make room for that fresh coat of paint. Vacuum’s primed and ready.

In a surprising twist, didn’t quite get to email sorting as I'd planned. Instead, I ended up drawing a ghost on the iPad. It was more fun than fussing with emails, and a good brush practice session too. Good to break some new ground on Procreate. A little spontaneous creativity can go a long way in unwinding.

Gratitude check-in: Always thankful for the skills to code, the space and time to play with the plotter, and that I still find joy in the learning curve. The residency's wrapped up for now, giving me room to focus on personal projects that’ve been on the back burner for far too long.

With big plans for next week’s floor upgrade, the aim is to balance productivity with a measure of patience. Quite the task list awaits: shop code, photo sessions, and some exciting video plots. It’s crucial to line up priorities and approach tasks with a clear mind, embracing the slower pace. That’s the goal anyway, right?
