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, and the first day of the holiday season break, meant the studio was only calling my name in the morning. My main task was getting Kitty on the go for plotting out more of those Christmas cards. It's strangely satisfying watching it all come together; the plotter smoothly turning lines of code into holiday wishes. Envelopes first, then cards, and somehow it's all prep for the grand mail out. I thought I'd need twice the cards as for the UK and it does seem to take just double the time. Classic.
Not to be outdone by the festive spirit creeping in, I spent part of my day whipping up some mock business cards and letterhead for Nixie's course. Stationery makes my heart skip a beat—only when it's heavy paper stock, mind you. There’s something about making something that looks official, even if it’s just for fun.
Once the plotter had sung its last tune for the day, I blasted some music – because self-care – and enjoyed the rhythm while working. It keeps the mood in check, speeding up the meticulous plotting process. The afternoon was meant for winding down. While I attempted to start getting the house ready for Yule, complete relaxation didn't quite make the guest list. But hey, it's early days yet on the holiday clock.
Reflecting on the day's highlights, the seamless teamwork between the printer and plotter just brings so much satisfaction. The little joys, like printing out some FALLiNGWATER postcards, remind me that having the printer in the studio genuinely feels like finally piecing together a long-awaited puzzle. While a 3D printer or laser cutter would be nice additions, for now, the printer itself feels like mission complete.
Ultimately, I wrapped the day up feeling mildly productive and quite festive. Here's to many more mornings of productive holiday cheer, and that snug studio vibe, before truly kicking back later in the week.
