Day 113 of San Diego

So, today pretty much sucked until the evening time.

Our flag pole was stolen. Yes, including the flags. We have NO IDEA when it was stolen and/or by whom. But I swear to God, if I meet the perpetrator(s), I will personally mess their world up.

The only clues I have thought of are:

1) The person or persons knew how to take out a telescopic flag pole. 

2) I think the job was done by at least two people considering the heaviness of the pole. 

3) I'm guessing the persons live in a mile radius. Any more than that, they probably would've chosen someone else's flag pole. 

4) The use of transportation was either carried by hand or driven back to the perpetrators' main base. Again, if it was carried, two people would have to carry it. 

Last night, after my dad came home from work, two people walking a dog (a man and a woman) passed by our house, telling my dad how awesome our flag pole was. My dad kept saying Thank You until the two people went up our hill. 

Coincidence? I think so. My dad does, too. 

My mom doesn't seem too concerned. All she has to say is that karma will get them back for what they did. Or, it's a prank, since April Fools Day is right around the corner. 

I don't want to jump the gun and say, "HAH! Yea, someone fooled us! Gee whizz." I think that couple did it. And I'm not going to sit about, waiting for karma to do its duty. Unless I can't figure out what else to do to help...

For now, I'll question our neighbors to see if they saw anything. 

The other bad news is that my Grandma J is sick. She's taking medicine for her gout. But, I guess, she's taking too much. She has already passed out and thrown up and is feeling awful. I heard about this when the folks and I joined the family at Grandma O's house. 

I'm glad I went to Grandma O's house, though, because I got to see my aunt Sherri and cousin Kim! I haven't seen them in a while... I can't even remember whether it was a year or a few months! Blasted memory... 

Kim and I talked a lot. We talked about life and our struggles together. We have this real deep connection when it comes to venting and talking about what's great in life. I think I needed someone who, I felt was on a similar boat ride as me, to talk to. 

Now, I'm lying in bed, exhausted from studying and being angry and worried, etc. Too many emotions in one day... I'm beat... And I need my rest, also! I'm waking up at 6 AM to follow my folks to a marathon. Why am I doing such a crazy act?

BECAUSE TOMORROW IS MY MOM'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!
