Just filled out our household Census form for 2026. Very smooth experience! I was trying to remember what the 2021 version was like… and then realised we missed it, because we were in Germany. Had to answer a few questions differently than in years past:

• Income – way down! Due to…
• No job! Yay!
• Volunteer work? Yes, plenty.
• Did I spend time in the last two weeks “providing unpaid care, help or assistance to family members or others because of a disability, a long-term health condition or problems related to old age?” I was honestly disappointed that “You’re goddamn right I did” wasn’t an answer.
