A quick check is to whack the starter relay on the fender well with a.mallet when it happens. They have a tendency to stick when they are going bad.
Or just replace it, but get a Motorcraft brand if/when you do.

Btw.. a prudent safety measure in the meanwhile is to not tighten the negative batt terminal, just sort of jam it onto the battery post so it makes contact but is loose enough to allow you to disconnect it if necessary
