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

Wednesday was a day of satisfying completions. I finished sewing all 16 zines yesterday evening, which went really well. I brought them back to the studio and placed them under a pile of very heavy books to flatten them some more. They'll stay like that probably till the weekend, at which point I'll write out the envelopes, pop the cards in, and get them posted on Monday.

The main creative focus today was stab binding the photo book for Sam. I got all the holes punched using my Japanese screw punch (at least I think that's what it's called - mine came from Japan, so technically it is a Japanese screw punch). The binding process went smoothly, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. It looks pretty sweet! I took photos and videos throughout the process to document it properly.

Sam doesn't actually know I'm dropping this off tomorrow, but I'm looking forward to chatting with her when I do. The book itself is a bit of a by-the-by - it was something I wanted to try making, and this gave me an excuse to do it. Now I've done it and I'm happy with the result.

Work was surprisingly rewarding today too. I made good progress, which felt satisfying. It's nice when both the creative side projects and the actual work stuff go well on the same day.

The weather was lovely and warm, which always puts me in a good mood. Between that, the book binding success, and productive work, it's been a pretty great day all round.

I need to take more photos of the photo book tomorrow before I hand it over to Sam, but otherwise, I'm feeling accomplished. The zines are done, the photo book is done, and work is moving along nicely. Can't really ask for more than that.
