Open Brain Session 15 - Gmail bridge blocklist: Added sender and subject pattern filtering to the Gmail Apps Script to stop marketing/transactional emails from flooding action_items table. Covers noreply senders, status alerts, promos, billing notifications, password resets, etc. Includes allowlist override for real contacts. Google Voice texts/voicemails intentionally not blocked. Script change is in reference/instructions/gmail-bridge.md but needs manual copy to script.google.com.

New tattoo appointment for Wesley tingle, background session, this Sunday 1pm-8pm
Reese is a family friend and the girl that watches our dogs when we’re out of town. I’m taking her senior photos today at a park in Nee Bern at 10 AM.
:brain: *Daily Brain Digest* (57 thoughts, last 24 hours) Today was a busy one, focused on juggling various tasks related to the tattoo business while keeping an eye on family matters. You spent time filtering and organizing tattoo appointments in Notion, making sure all necessary information was captured, including release forms for clients. Additionally, you dealt with financial statements for the Medicaid application, ensuring that all receipts and invoices were properly tracked and verified. There’s a clear connection between your appointments and your financial tracking today. By managing client records and tying them to invoices, you can improve your overall business efficiency and ensure compliance for the Medicaid process. Upcoming, you have several tattoo appointments scheduled for this week, including sessions with Cori Woodall and Alicia Barker. There’s also the need to schedule Wesley Tingle’s second session for his back piece, and be sure to arrange a touch-up for his leg tattoo. **Action Items:** - Schedule 2nd session for Wesley Tingle's Tiger Dragon back piece. - Ensure Wesley fills out a release form during his next appointment. - Complete a verification pass syncing all receipt files against Notion databases. - Review open items for Dave's confirmation before finalizing the Medicaid report. - Create new posts to improve engagement on social media. Verification pass sinking all receipt files against Notion databases is complete. All open items for Dave’s confirmation before finalizing. The Medicaid report have been reviewed and I believe the report has also been finalized

Search for dick blick receipts to add to medicaid application
Medicaid Application Session 14 FINAL - Full verification pass + Notion cleanup + FINAL_REPORT locked. Deleted 11 Notion entries (8 Cloudways no-receipt, 1 OpenAI Jan 27 duplicate, 1 ProTrainings no-receipt, 1 Google Workspace no-receipt). Added 5 entries (4 Squarespace Feb-May 2025, 1 Tattoo Permits). Every remaining expense entry has a matching receipt. Final locked numbers: Gross Income $75,426.15, Total Business Expenses $17,218.27, Net Self-Employment Income $58,207.88. Open items: unspecified deposits ($28,513, 34 transactions) and appointment payment amounts require Dave's input. Tags: medicaid-application, session-log, expenses, final-report
Medicaid Application Session 13 addendum: Dave confirmed he already downloaded the tattoo permits receipt (Gmail image attachment) and Sheraton Norfolk folio (Gmail PDF attachment). These were the last two items on the "Dave downloads" list. All receipt downloads are now complete. Only remaining tasks: full verification pass (receipts vs Notion) and FINAL_REPORT.md recalculation.
Medicaid Application Session 13 - Receipt replacement complete: Replaced ALL generated receipt PDFs with official documents downloaded from vendor portals and Gmail. 15 Amazon invoices (portal print-to-PDF), 14+1 Squarespace invoices (portal), 13 Spotify (renamed portal UUID files), GeneratePress (Gmail print-to-PDF), 6 one-off receipts from Gmail (Afterlife Press, Norfolk Expo, Cathy Montie, 2x ProTrainings, Mar 2026 Claude Max $100). Added Lauren's ProTrainings BBP ($26.63) to Notion Shop Expenses. Dropped Amazon order 114-6863457-2728209 ($127.94) for having too many personal items. Only generated files remaining are Spectrum Jan/Feb 2025 (intentional). Key discovery: Dave upgraded from Claude Pro ($20/mo) to Claude Max ($100/mo) as of Mar 12, 2026. Next session: full verification pass syncing receipt files against Notion Shop Expenses and Shop Bills databases, then recalculate FINAL_REPORT.md with corrected Spectrum amounts ($118-130/mo vs old $89.99), dropped Amazon order, added Lauren ProTrainings, and Mar 2026 Claude Max.
[Medicaid Application] Session 11 COMPLETE: Recalculated FINAL_REPORT.md for correct Feb 2025-Feb 2026 period. Final numbers: Gross Income $75,426.15 (handwritten Feb-May $14,500 + bank Jun-Feb $60,926.15), Business Expenses $17,054.22 (Notion Shop Expenses $6,282.85 + Shop Bills $8,963.02 + tattoo permits $400 + Norfolk convention $1,408.35), Net Self-Employment Income $58,371.93. 11 sessions total. Key additions this session: Feb-May handwritten income/expenses integrated with bank data, Venmo-paid expenses (Notion $72, Later.com $300, GeneratePress $149), Norfolk Tattoo Expo convention costs ($800 booth, $528.35 hotel, $80 parking). 6 open items remain for Dave's review. Next: receipt verification pass to ensure all Notion entries have matching original invoices/receipts.
[Medicaid Application] Session 10 - Receipt cross-verification and Notion fixes: Cross-verified 121 receipt PDFs against Notion Shop Expenses (38 entries) and Shop Bills (now ~111 entries). 94 matched, 21 expected gaps (handwritten/portal era). Found and fixed: (1) Atticus Talak Bifenthrin $43.11 re-added to Shop Expenses (was deleted between sessions), (2) 8 "Website hosting" $35/mo entries corrected from Vendor=Squarespace to Vendor=Cloudways (bank-rounded Cloudways charges), (3) 11 Squarespace Email Campaign $10/mo entries added (Jun 2025-Mar 2026), (4) March 2026 bills added (electric $240.97, Adobe x2, Cloudways $59.49, Spectrum $94.99), (5) Twilio $20 and Claude AI $5+$100 added, (6) FINAL_REPORT.md recalculated: Amazon reduced by $146.21 (Lauren's charges), new totals: Business Expenses $14,602.73, Net Self-Employment Income $53,156.40. Key clarification from Dave: Squarespace $336/yr = annual shop website hosting, $10/mo = email campaign subscription, $35/mo bank charges = Cloudways (not Squarespace).
Wesley Tingle has no release form on file. Next time he comes in for his leg piece appointment, have him fill out a release form so we have his address for records. He's a recurring client of Dave's with at least 4 sessions logged (Mar 2025, Jul 2025, Nov 2025, Feb 2026).

I should really set up some automations to collect these business expenses as they come in that way it's not a bunch of work when I need the info.
[Notion MCP] Pages must be explicitly connected to the API integration before they're visible via notion_search or any API call. If notion_search returns empty for a page you know exists, the integration connection is the likely issue. Fix: navigate to the page in Notion UI, click ... menu, go to Connections, and connect the integration. This applies to any new page created manually in Notion that needs API access.
Give Lauren money for the cash envelope at the shop tomorrow
