Serendipitwaddle - Tania Katherine

I. 

I’ve been flirting with vegan for months 

making meal time impossible. 

Too much effort to count. 

Michael & I have fought. 

But we’ve compromised. 

And made it through. 

II. 

I have a lot of food allergies, 

making vegan harder. 

Birthday cakes with

no milk or eggs or dairy or animal or coconut oil or high-dose nutmeg 

are hard to come by. 

Even harder to find good. 

III. 

Michael is in the kitchen,

grating carrots and warming vegan cream cheese. 

He’s making me a carrot cake. 

The day after my birthday. 

Because yesterday he didn’t have time. 

IV. 

I’m a very, very, very, very, very, very lucky woman sometimes. 

Well, most times. 

I just admit to it when 

the evidence is overwhelming.
