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
Monday's not quite gone to plan, but here we are, making the best of it. My aim was to record a video for the iDraw pen plotter—a task that's been pending way too long. But alas, it remains elusive. The day took a detour. It’s all lumping up in the “later” pile now, the infamous land of “everything else.”
The high point today, though, was getting a working script for writing and plotting the Christmas cards. The code click went off smoothly, albeit towards the day's end. It’s nice having Kitty aid the easy transition to addressing and plotting with the pen plotter. Well, I say Christmas cards; let's call them holiday greeting cards. The international batching is ready to go first, trotting along nicely after nudges.
Workspace-wise, my attempt at time management had mixed results. Realistically, it was a two-steps-forward, one-step-back kind of day. There’s a half-positive undercurrent, though. I can't help but feel relaxed about—stuff happened, and I’ll press on tomorrow. The new pen plotter certainly provided a silver lining.
Gratefully, some things fell into place effortlessly; the new pen plotter kicked off without sulking, just like that. In light of space getting a shuffle around the studio, it was quite a sight. I am grateful for an old faithful plotter standing by contentedly, making room for the new one.
So, not the Monday I envisioned, yet oddly satisfying in a few sneaky ways. Tomorrow’s calling with promises and pens. Fingers crossed, things roll better. Such is a day’s confident march into surprises and keeping humor in check. Each hiccup throws its shadow, but today has also reminded me of good stuff, at least.
