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 mixed bag of staying at home and venturing back into the studio. My original plan to tackle the daunting task of reorganizing the studio was postponed as I realized the fresh paint could do with another day to settle and harden. Plus, a mountain of post was arriving at the house, beckoning my presence. I initially planned to delve into studio reorganization, but a change of plans felt like the right call.

Meanwhile, the arrival of a considerable amount of post signaled a day at home, where I opted for a coding endeavor instead. An update to Kitty's system was in order, specifically fiddling with Node's latest version. It's been a source of mild frustration, the age-old dilemma of tech compatibility. Node was acting up with the canvas object on the back end, which has been a thorn in my side on past occasions. I intend to wrangle the code into submission, ensuring Kitty can once again handle image resizing and make social media posts.

The day was more productive at home than expected, as the deliveries arrived earlier than anticipated. This smooth start unexpectedly propelled me into returning to the studio post-coding and taking significant steps in putting everything back where it belongs. Small victories, each shifting piece another step towards a more functional creative space.

Later in the evening, with errands complete, I tucked into a cozy nook at home. Akin to unwinding, I took solace in catching up on newsletters with my iPad. A gentle reminder of a slower pace, perhaps an echo of the minimalism thoughts that have been tugging at my mind. The focus is on having all I need where I need it, and reducing the relics of hobbies no longer pursued.

The serenity of today, characterized by coding, sorting, and catching up on reading, shaped a day that balanced both productivity and relaxation. What began as a task-driven morning transformed into an unexpectedly rewarding day. There's a sense of gradual progress across several personal fronts - organizing the studio, updating Kitty, and embracing leisure time. Each step reflects an ongoing journey of harmonizing technology, creativity, and moments of tranquility, as life meanders forward.
