Catherine gets unceremoniously dismissed and takes the long journey home to Fullerton.
Akina and I reminisce about silk gloves and our mass wedding. We also talk about Gaza a bit in the end and the atrocities that are happening there, so if that’s triggering for you keep that in mind. Feel free to skip to the end where we tell you how to donate and help a Palestinian family. You can also check the link down below.

**Apology for this episode being put out VERY late! If you know me in real life, you know we had a major thing happen in our family that put everything else on the back burner. Will maybe talk about it soon, but for now, just know we're doing well and getting back in the swing of things...but I won't be making anymore promises as to when episodes come out! Thanks for your patience and understanding!- Laurel***
