Hobbies
My free time is spent with my cat, who I take for walks, visiting family/friends, and enjoying my city. I love the ocean but will settle for a mental getaway in the pool if weather doesn't allow an ocean swim. I love to cook and share my creations with my neighbors and friends. The pandemic has brought out the artist in me and I have picked up a hobby of painting (by numbers). I have fell in love with reading again, which was my number one hobby as a younger adult.
