Today's Brightest Spot

Been some real high spots and some real low spots today. Jim said to Venita: “Try not to be so negative on the Blog,” referring to Venita’s ranting about “it really sucks” two posts down. Venita popped another Xanax and is writing this as she tries to get her blood pressure under control from today’s round of stupid doctors’ offices tricks.

Today’s brightest spot was a post card from Martha from Hawaii. When’s that wonderful woman getting home to her Alley Cat? We so hope she had a warm, relaxing vacation away from the world of FD.

Is “vacation” a derivative of the words “vacant” or “vacate”? Must be. We hope Martha vacated all her worries back here on the mainland while she was gone.

PS: From Amy--"vacation comes from vacate, which comes from the Latin vacare, which means to be empty, free, etc." Thanks Amy!
