I worked my holy livin’ ass off! 7 days a week, 10–12 hours a day. It started on September 1, 2021. I decided to find out if we can make money on Medium. Why? The truth is, my schizophrenic boyfriend/roommate decided to go off his meds and was losing it.

He was going to move to the woods (or so he was saying)with our dogs and make sure that I lose my house and go to a nursing home. He was yelling at me non-stop! I called the cops He was saying he wanted to decapitate a friend. They walked away.

So I went to the hospital because I was afraid of hurting myself when efforts to get him on his meds failed.

I caught Covid in the hospital so I had 3 weeks to think. (It was a break from the word “FUCK”! He was saying it 200–300 times a day.)

He pays about $500 a month, hence the $500 number. So I did it!

Great, right? But Houston, we have a problem…or so I thought. In January my income dropped. See below.👇

I had a stroke so I can’t walk or talk, but I can write! Just a new chapter in life. I love the journey…..By me a cup of coffee Ko-fi.com/jansebastian5419
