Default Pedal problems

Wondering if anyone else has this issue or knows why. I have a stock trans new slave tick master and a diamond stage 2 clutch. I drive my car maybe one day or week or once every 2 weeks so it sits sometimes for a while. When i get into the car after not driving it for a week or so it has a very weak pedal, seems like it only travels half the distance. After i let it warm up pump it a few times and drive it for a few miles it comes up to a full pedal, and is pefect and stiff anyone know what my problem could be?

ive blead it several times no problems getting into gears when warm and if i drive it back to back days i dont run into this issue. Only when i let it sit for a week or 2 then i drive for about 5 miles and the pedal goes to normal height and feel no griding and im able to WOT shift

i would assume when did the clutch you put in a new slave cylinder in if not could have a little leak by on the slave. even if its new could be slightly defective the same could be said for the tick. any fluid loss over time in the clutch master resivor?
