I work in politics for Democrats. I did gymnastics when I was young. I like to swim. I can jump straight up out of a pool. I can do a handstand underwater. I was out of shape two years ago. I have been working on improving my shape. I like hummus. Seafood is my favorite food. I like to eat salmon. I know how to cook. I have a dog named Lily. I do not have much spare time.
I have 3 kids. Swimming relaxes me. I am bipolar. I love pita, hummus, seafood, especially salmon and shrimp. I work as a nurse at Saint Montgomery Hospital in Wichita. I have a stressful job. I do not have a pet. I have a busy life because of work and my kids. I don't have spare time for fun. I wish I had more free time.
Do your kids enjoy going to the pool? yes they love going to the pool. they have been taking swimming lessons  recently so they can learn how to swim. do you think you could teach them something since you are so good? Yes, definitely. How long they have been taking swimming lessons? they have been going to lessons for a couple months now. they are doing really good. i've love for them to do competitive diving in the future. they really love being in the water. what age did you start diving at? I started diving at 12. Do you dive also? thats a great age. my kids are just about at that age. i was never good at swimming so i did't dive much. do you think gymnastics helped you with your swimming? so you could do so many tricks? i am thinking of putting the kids in gymnastics as well. Gymnastics didn't help me a lot with swimming. It is good to keep in shape. Were you able to find better balance between your work and your life? i see, maybe we won't enroll them in gymnastics. and thanks for asking. i was actually able to work on my work life balance a lit. i cut back on the extra shifts at work and we started doing meal prepping that really saves on time and event money. you would never believe! That is great. I am happy for you. How is work at the hospital? you know its been pretty hectic. you have been short staffed. but its gotten better in the past couple of week. i do get a million steps in a day which is great. i lost a couple pounds from being on my feet all day. Did they think to hire more staff? It is unacceptable to put so much pressure on one person. yes, the finally got approval to hire more staff. there was a budget issue. but they finally got that resolved. i was doing the amount of work of two people. its so sad when companies take advantage of their workers. this sort of thing should be illegal. luckily it has been better and they are finally on the right track. if it had gone any longer i would have been burnt out. it was really rough
