Made my first stamp that's not carved out of a potato! Thanks _refugee_ for the inspiration :)

There's been some really good and significant progress in our plastic recycling non-profit. Enjoying doing tests, coordinating and onboarding new volunteers. Finally getting a little back into the marketing groove, now that my presidential duties on the board have settled down a little. Soft-launched the Patreon on the mailing list, will start posting on regular socials shortly and getting into the website re-design. The distancing rules are making things a little hard, but we've been finding solutions and things are definitely moving along. It's just too bad there is not real money in the project, at least in the short term. I'm definitely putting 30h/week into it, if not more and seeing progress has really motivated me lately.

I'm really loving my life balance right now, where I'm leading a meaningful project, learning a lot and collaborating with people (which is new for me, i've aways been a solo-project kind of person). I have time for personal hobbies, seeing family, reading lots, cooking good things and keeping the house organized, having really good times with friends, spending time outside... Twice in the past 10 days I went to sleep with this overwhelming feeling of being loved and well surrounded - like this weird warmness in my chest on a regular day when i think back on some talks or moments with my buddies.

I really really don't want to get a dumb job to take away my time. Shoutout to the Canadian government for paying my bills, but i'm a little worried this will end soon. Got a call from the Quebec revenue agency about some weird filling details in 2018. I always had a feeling my accountant did not understand a lot of what I do, and now I'm worries she mis-filled some of my income. I'm poor - so it's not like they can claim I owe them money but that's stupid and stressful shit I didn't want to deal with right now. Definitely going to get a new accountant, because I have a feeling the Federal governement will fine-comb the fillings of all of us fuckers that got free money come tax season.
