rehabilitating baby turtles, singing karaoke, knitting, and DIY projects.

  • Injected them with antibiotics if suffering from respiratory infection(with vet's consult), raised them back to health in a 180 gallon aquarium set up with UV lights and lava rock. Once strong enough, released them back into the wild.
  • My voice type is a mezzo-soprano, so sing songs by Evanescence, Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, etc, and any of the higher pitched male rock ballads. Started singing at the age of 2 with a hairbrush as microphone.
  • Find the painstakingly slow process of working stitch by stitch extremely satisfying. Enjoy knitting pieces with intricate patterns, or with colorful motifs, all which I often design myself. Also create yarn from scratch, from a raw fleece all washed and prepped, then spun on a spinning wheel into yarn.
  • Painting interior and exterior surfaces of a house, designing landscape features, landscape low voltage lighting, tiling of floors, wood work, assembling furniture or other equipment, etc
