0:00.0	Well, hello there, top teachers. I am your solo host, Michelle Emerson, and I am here to make your life
0:07.2	easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher.
0:13.7	Now, because I said solo host, and hopefully because you read the title of this episode,
0:19.0	you already know it is going to be a week in my life,
0:23.3	but summer edition. It is currently Sunday, June 9th, and just to kick us off with some big news,
0:32.5	I have a rather large update. Drum roll please. I'm going back into the classroom. I'm so excited.
0:41.8	I don't have time to share the full story right now. Okay. I am traveling today, but stay tuned.
0:48.3	I'm going to fill you in with all the details when I get back, which will be after the little
0:53.3	podcast break. But before I share that,
0:57.2	I am traveling to New York City today. I'm going to be going to the Soho area for an event.

1:37.0	I've been setting a goal. And for June, my goal is to not spend any money above and beyond the
1:43.9	necessities. So obviously things like my mortgage
1:47.4	and insurance, like the bills, I've got to pay those. And then you got to eat. However, I have set a
1:53.8	budget of $400 total for the full month, all food for Billy and I. So that means groceries, any eating out that we do. The goal is to
2:03.4	stay under $400 for the month. So one of the ways that we are trying to save just little pennies here
2:09.8	and there, not that it's a big savings, but every little bit helps is by shopping in the store.
