Pure JavaScript Datepicker displays calendar only once to never do it again in a Shopify cart page

To achieve greater performance with our Shopify store, we decided to minimize use of jQuery across the site. In cartpage, I added a pure JavaScript datepicker that sometimes displays the calendar just once and never afterwards. I ensured only one version of jQuery loads in the theme, thinking multiple instances from other Shopify apps might be causing this issue. But even with a single jQuery instance being loaded now in the theme, the issue still persists. I don't see any console errors. Please add a product to the cart and go to the cart page to see this issue by clicking the date picker. Below is the link to the preview theme.

Following is the datepicker code for pickaday plugin.

<div class="cart-attribute__field">
  <p>
    <label for="ship_date">Ordering early? Pick a future ship date here:</label>
    <input id="ship_date" type="text" name="attributes[ship_date]" value="{{ cart.attributes.ship_date }}" />
  </p>
</div>
<p class="shipping-text">If you are placing an order with <b>a future ship date</b> that <u>also</u> includes multiple addresses please email <a href="mailto:support@packedwithpurpose.gifts" target="_blank">support@packedwithpurpose.gifts</a> upon placing your order to confirm your preferred ship date.</p>

        return `${month}/${day}/${year}`;
      },
      parse(dateString, format) {
        // dateString is the result of `toString` method
        const parts = dateString.split('/');
        const day = parseInt(parts[0], 10);
        const month = parseInt(parts[1], 10) - 1;

      disableDayFn: function(inputDate) {
        // Disable national holidays
        var formattedDate = inputDate.getFullYear() + '-' + (inputDate.getMonth() + 1) + '-' + inputDate.getDate();
        return ((disabledDays.indexOf(formattedDate) == -1) ? false : true);

</script>

This was fixed by replacing (function() with window.addEventListener("load", function()
