271/365 Sweet and Sour Stomach

I have been craving it for days, a dish I normally avoid when taking in Chinese food. Tonight though, my stress level was high and the the delivery place was still open. This is a dish I shouldn't have at 2 PM, much less 10:30 at night. Attempting to allow food to fill the space left by a turmoil of emotion never works. The result is guilt on top of turmoil and a night of indigestion. The chicken didn't make the problems go away, and the sweet and sour sauce didn't miraculously change the difficult and delicate situation.

It's quickly becoming a Wednesday tradition. Because the afternoon bus stop is only a couple of blocks from Grandma's house, and Grandma is off work midweek, it just makes sense to have dinner and some time together. We usually eat at Grandma's, then take in a game of Bananagrams or catch up on the latest Cash Cab. Today the schedule was a little different, with an early dismissal and a long audition at the high school. Chinese food, said the auditioner, and this was the perfect ending to the meal.
