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
Thursday's been a bit of a marathon with the Data Lifeboat queuing system. Spent most of the day building out this file system queue thing, which is basically just a dumbed-down version where tasks sit in a directory waiting to be processed. Nothing fancy or automated - you have to tick the queue to get things moving - but that's actually better for tracking what's happening.
Got up early and managed to squeeze in some personal stuff before diving into work. Cut up those prints from the other day into postcards, which was satisfying. Then quickly threw together a little zine with photos of the process - just slapping images onto pages, printing, folding, and stapling. Simple but effective. Got a few posted out today, with plans to send more tomorrow.
The queue system is taking longer than I'd hoped (doesn't it always?). Thought I might crush it in a day, but it's definitely rolling into tomorrow and probably Monday too. That's coding for you - always optimistic with the time estimates! Been listening to HANA's YouTube mixes while working - those 3-hour instrumental sessions are perfect for background focus.
Weather's been lovely today - around 20 Celsius. Might need to start shedding some layers on the walk to and from the studio. It's nice not having to think about the weather for once.
Feeling pretty good about progress overall, even if it's slower than planned. Tomorrow's another full work day, which I'm actually quite excited about. No distractions, just head down on the Data Lifeboat. The rubber stamp alignment issues can wait until Monday - trying to tackle too many things at once just scatters my focus.
Three grateful things: the perfect weather, putting together that quick zine this morning, and the music that kept me going through the day.
