These in-line stories are so much "See something, Say something!" wrapped up in the continual plea of current/former military husbands for their wives to just finally gain some situational awareness already. 😂🙋‍♀️

I loved this! Waiting is HARD, and it's often good.

These were the craziest waiting stories ahh!! I would have been losing my mind at the yellow jacket since our oldest has an anaphylactic allergy to them. Ugh they are nasty buggers, just out there stinging because they feel like it. Anyway this made me LOL big time!!! As for books I've read in 2023, I think my favorite was Nagmeh Panahi's "I Didn't Survive". It wasn't a "fun" read, but it was a compelling memoir I listened to on audio book that really touched my soul.

Yes, I was hoping no one was allergic to them as I stood there.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! I somehow missed that book, but I’ll check it out! Thanks so much for reading! ❤️

I am the worst at waiting, but it is something I really am working on. Loved reading your waiting stories. If I would have been there I would have been the “crazy woman with curly hair running from the line screaming like her life was about to end” from the yellow jacket.

Made me laugh Joy. I had to google yellow jacket, we call them wasps. So I learnt something as well 🤣

Yay! I’m so glad it made you laugh! 🥰 We have wasps too, and they’re still a little different from yellowjackets. Yellowjackets are smaller, thicker, and yellow like bees, but a brighter yellow. They’re SUPER agressive and can sting multiple times without dying! 😭 But you have much scarier things in Australia. 😆

Thanks so much for reading!

Joy - yellowjackets sound terrifying!!! I can barely handle bees. And luckily for me I haven't seen too much scarier things in Australia haha

Your writing always makes me laugh. Congrats on the first draft completion 👏👏👏
