Hubby's broken neck is almost completely well. He believes he was healed in March, but I make him wear his brace and follow the doctor's orders anyway, since he never felt any pain and would need an Xray to be sure.
I keep busy all day every day. I'm tired most of the time. I started a new publication yesterday on Medium and I'm waiting to see if anyone follows it. These publications take some time to get off the ground.
I found that when I accepted a challenge to post on Medium once a day, beginning in the middle of May, I'm earning more. So far this month I've made $32.78. I'm hoping I can hit $50 by June 30. But who knows. This could turn into another Bubblews type income for me if I keep at it.
But keeping at it is hard. I'm almost 80. I tire more easily than when I was 60. And time is catching up with me. Realistically, I can't expect to have more than eleven years more. That's our family history. I have a lot to finish before then. Hubby wants us to rent out the Templeton house, and it will be a lot of work to clear it out. It's too hot to do anything upstairs, since we don't have any way to cool it.
I'm beginning to feel my age now. I'd like to slow down and just enjoy life a bit more now.
Now let's test how old you are. Do you recognize what's in this picture?

Medium is a blogging platform. It has a subscription plan for readers. Writers can earn money there, but they will earn more if they are also subscribers. Non-subscribers can only read three articles a month from behind the paywall. Just as with every other content site, to get readers, one normally has to network with other writers by reading and commenting on their work. That's hard to do when you only can read three free articles a month. But there's a lot of really interesting stuff to read. The subscription fees go to pay the writers.

@DocAndersen I think it was once universal in the USA for those who had to visit a dentist.

Your age is probably why you don't remember this. It's hard to believe it didn't exist in India at one time. I'll try to explain it in another post soon unless someone guesses correctly.
