We were away for over a week. At dinner last night DD said, "finally! A home cooked meal!!!". Translation: Finally! After 10 longs days, a meal that requires no discussion about allergies, allergens, how food is cooked, just point your finger at me and make me feel weird cause I am different, and no anxiety that I was heard, listened to and care was truly taken in making my meal!"
It's not easy being DD eating away for so long. She had a couple of moments that worried me but admitted she made herself sick because of her own anxiety.
Her coaches did not understand why we did not go with them to Texas Roadhouse......until at breakfast the next morning when they expressed their shock and admitted to not understanding what we mean by "peanuts being everywhere". They asked how I knew and I smiled and said "Oh my FAS friends were quick to warn me to call ahead first!" She and I had a lovely meal at Longhorn Steakhouse instead.
