That
some dates have
some wiggle room...
But I do not wiggle with meat and dairy. My dad is so bad about this stuff. He must have the constitution of a raccoon.
The car story is familiar - I think something spikes anxiety sometimes and maybe that's where it comes from. The vulnerability that comes with age definitely means my father is way more openly anxious than he used to be. He called me when he got home to let me know that he made the train -- but also, he felt he would not have made it if he got the meat. So it was still on his mind.
