Thank you. I swear this technology doesn't work sometimes and my eyes get older every day. So it doesn't help me at all. So what's the weather like in Louisiana? Because that's where you are. Very hot and very humid. It's in the 90s and the air is saturated. Is that unusual for me? 00:56 Oh no, May is usually our kind of summer dress rehearsal. It's usually hot and buggy and icky and then it just gets hotter from there. Okay, well, I'm in Minnesota and we never know what we're going to get in May. We had a 90 degree day a couple weeks ago. And today it's like 67, I think, and it's sunny. I, Minnesota is weird. I don't really appreciate the swings all the time. 01:27 So at least you have sort of the gauge on May for Louisiana. Yes. Okay. So tell me about what you do because I think you have classes. I know you have horses. What is it you do? So we do a couple of things. A, we homeschool. So we spend time homeschooling our two kiddos. And then a lot of times we'll have homeschool families over to the farm. 01:57 teach them how to milk goats and introduce them to the ponies and the chickens. And they take home milk and sometimes cheese if we have some that we've been making. And then we run our farm. And then my main gig is I'm actually a vet. So that's a part-time job for me. Very nice. But that comes in handy with your animals. Yes. I mostly do small animal for work, but I'll take care of minor problems that come up here on the farm. 02:26 the major than I let somebody else handle it. Okay, awesome. And I'm guessing you're probably connected with other veterinarians if you are a vet. Oh, yes. So that helps. Okay, I have a couple questions about you being a veterinarian because why not? I don't get to talk to veterinarians other than when I take my dog to her vet who she loves. Thank God. 02:54 My dog is crazy, she loves going to the vet. How did you decide you wanted to become a vet? Did you know from when you were little or was it something that you got into when you were in high school? So I always loved animals and I thought from the time that I was, you when people start asking you what you want to be, that was often my answer. But I actually got to college and I got a C in chemistry and I said, 03:20 they're never gonna let me in because getting into vet school is harder than getting into med school. It's a very, very competitive process. So I actually stopped aiming for vet school and I switched over and became a teacher. My background was elementary education with a minor in special ed and talked for a couple of years. I got my master's in Ed specialist in gifted education. 03:45 And after a few years teaching, I said, this is not what I want to do for the rest of my life. I love the kids. I love the teaching. I didn't like all the other stuff that went along with it. So I said, I'm going to give myself one semester of retaking science classes and see if I can make. 04:05 A's in it, not hey, I scraped by and I got a B plus. I wanted to feel confident that I could handle material. And I did that and I said, okay, well, if I can do that, I'm going to apply to vet school. So I went ahead and applied and went to vet school and graduated later than most of my peers did, although we had somebody that was, I want to say 55 when he graduated and he owns his own clinic in Florida now. So. 04:32 age isn't a requirement with it, but it did give me a nice background for homeschooling my kiddos that I feel pretty comfortable with the education side of things. Well, that's impressive. I'm proud of you. That that must have taken a lot of I don't know, pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and really digging into to learning the things. Yes, yes, it did. And I actually had my son a few months before. 05:01 I started vet school, so I had him in April and we started in August. So I had a bitty baby and a toddler all through vet school, which made things extra challenging, but I have a wonderful husband and family who helped ...
