Reading, coding, video games, exercising when possible, playing with my dogs

Ever since I was a little girl I devoured books; it was the escape from having to deal with the constant stress and witnessing what would now be considered "Domestic Violence". My father was Mike Webster, the first former pro athlete with Chronic Traumatic Encephelopathy or CTE as it is more commonly known. I also escaped with my brothers into video games, and having ADHD I absolutely was obsessed with The Legend of Zelda. I think everyone should play that game because it pushes you into figuring out solutions you never would have thought of to problems. I absolutely LOVE going to the gym and I feel so much more focused and healthy-and maybe it's a genetic thing too because that is how my dad dealt with his problems. I got into coding about two years ago and I love it for some reason, maybe because its constantly evolving, there is always new technologies to learn and I finally enrolled in a university program for it but I still need to work to pay bills honestly and a remote job is going to be the best way for me to work reliably and effectively as I do not have a car at this time. Finally, my baby Tilly, and handsome Bowdrie, and Gramma Baley (that"s what  we call her she is 13) they are all golden retrevers.
