While 2003-2005 were anything but restful, they were years I did not worry about my cancer. They were years of rest. I adjusted to the new course of my life and I rebuilt bridges to my kids.
As 2005 began, I gave in to the conclusion that I would live with my father for the rest of his or my life and care for him. I accepted the fact that even though I was overly qualified for my menial, hourly job, I would make this job work.
I was heavily in dept but I was paying it off. I could even see how it would be possible for me to increase the amount of my back child support and alimony I. By my projections, I January of 2006 I would be paying over the required amount and thus be paying some on what my children and ex wife are due.
This spring, I cleaned the flower beds around father’s home and planted new flowers. On one side, I planted Azaleas. On the back side, I planted roses and some bulbs. I still need to finish the front and the other side. I took over lawn care rather than paying someone to do that for us.
Within the house, I made an effort to find better way to use my small space. I like to cook, so I began to experiment with new dishes. Blackened Salmon and Blackened Chicken are my favorite dishes.
My father has done some stained glass window work in the past. Occasionally, I helped him. Since my decision to remain here, I have taken that form of art as mine. I am still a beginner. Although it is a source of great stress, I do enjoy it. I have already made one. It was an 8.5” by 11” chalice. I gave it to my pastor.
