General Update

Happy Mother’s Day to all you mothers and fathers who do both roles!

I have been going to school for Psychology, but I have decided to change courses to a two-year program. It’s a medical administrative assistant program through Bryant Stratton College online. I’ll be taking full-time classes. The classes are 7.5 weeks long and I’ll be taking two classes at a time. I’m nervous and excited to start.

My weight has gone up more. I’m now at 239 lbs. I’m so disappointed, and yet I keep eating. I feel hungry nearly all the time. Yesterday, I walked nearly 3 miles, and my feet were so sore. I was proud of myself, though. I am clearly out of shape, and I can feel it!

Not many people know this, but I currently have a payee who handles my finances and pays my bills. My goal is to gain back control of my own finances. I need to go through the Social Security Office, and I have to provide proof that I’m capable of handling it. I hope I can get back control…it’ll definitely help my self-esteem.

I’ve been having dreams the last few nights of my mom, step-dad, and my girls when they were little. The dreams are so vivid that I have been waking up emotional.

I’ve been doing a lot of drawing lately, and I actually entered a contest through People’s Artist. Please vote for me! https://peoplesartist.org/2026/dorothy-m-hendricks I’m not top-notch, but I think I do pretty well. Art helps me with my depression.

That’s all for now.

Peace & Love

❤ Dorothy
