I truly believed I could work less when moving to Texas. People think living here is so much cheaper. Well, selling a house in California or buying a Texas home with a California salary is more affordable. However, it was not my case. Everything here is the same price as when I left California -I know it is more now there - But I am not making what I was making there. I came to Texas knowing I would not pay rent (I will tell that story later), and I could save up in my head. I was unsure I would get into the Nursing Program, so I decided to do the Nurse Assistant Program to start working at the hospital. I am so glad I did it, but on the other hand, I stopped putting energy into building my massage clientele where I can work less and make more money. Therefore, I put myself into working over 45 hours a week, earning less than when I moved here. And not forgetting that back in California, I worked about 30 hours weekly and went to school full time, but somehow I still found time for self-care. So, GETTING SICK now was a lifesaver for me. My body and mind need to rest before starting the program in the fall. I will go into more details later.
Eu realmente acreditava que poderia trabalhar menos quando me mudasse para o Texas. As pessoas acham que morar aqui é muito mais barato. Bem, vender uma casa na Califórnia ou comprar uma casa no Texas com um salário na Califórnia é mais acessível. No entanto, não era meu caso. Tudo aqui é o mesmo preço de quando saí da Califórnia. Eu vim para o Texas sabendo que eu não pagaria aluguel (vou contar essa história mais tarde), e achava que iria poder economizar. Eu não tinha certeza se entraria no Programa de Enfermagem, então decidi fazer o Programa de Auxiliar de Enfermagem para começar a trabalhar no hospital. Estou tão feliz por ter feito isso, mas por outro lado, parei de colocar energia na construção da minha clientela de massagem onde posso trabalhar menos e ganhar mais dinheiro.
