One of the girls I lifeguard with always bows her head and says a prayer before her shift all those she has to be responsible for in the pool. The last time I joined her.
So busy with univ. and nursing school. Also time I spend lifeguarding and teaching swim. Been in so many covid wards and clinics for practicals in nursing school so started smoking.
Hello James. Thank you for your comments. With all the sad news in the last 2 days found myself smoking more. A cigarette in my fingers is warm and assuring. Is relaxing and a way to deal with stress.
I guess that when the swimmers are in the water it is difficult to identify girls and boys unless they are wearing different colour swim caps.
Interesting now more and more boys wear full body swimsuits like their sisters.
For me the ritual of putting on makeup in the morning is an opportunity to pause and think about the day and think about plans and gives me a chance to think about all my issues.
I wear a two piece swimsuit (a bikini) to swim in for fun and to tan in. I have one piece suits and a few modest swimsuits. I choose the suit based on how I feel and what I will be doing.
I'm a 4th year nursing student. I understand the risks and the last two years of my practical training have had me in Covid wards and ICUs. Sometimes the demands of the academics and the practicals is stressing so an occasional cigarette is a way to step back and relax.
Later today I will be...
