Full Fridges, BLTs, and Presidential Cats

Heaven filled her fridge and cabinets for the first time in months and sat in her kitchen and cried from gratitude. That's where this one starts. From there, Lacey introduces Notorious BLT (a TikTok friend whose username she messaged a stranger to compliment) and his cat, President Camacho, who is wearing sunglasses and has a lot going on. A BLT tangent follows. Sara shares a text from Jim that briefly made her wonder if he was trying to warn her about lizard people, and talks through what it's like to communicate when your brain is mid-perimenopause and charades is the backup plan. Short episode, a lot of warmth.
