It all started when an old lady got hit in the head with a baseball. Then there was a guy who was struck by lightning on a golf course during a storm. Then there was Angeline's rich uncle. What are these connections I will now tell you. It is the work of Voodoo. Black magic. Each one of the victims received a voodoo doll explaining how they died three days before they actually died. But here it is Mr. Monk is trying to figure out the real connections. Angeline was taking care of her uncle when he died but she did not watch him have a heart attack. The heart attack that is how he died.Or is it we are going to find out. There is a suspect that has a voodoo shop. And his name is Reverend Jorgensen. But get this he is not the bad guy. He just sells the stuff. And things go critical when Natalie Mr. Monk's assistant gets a voodoo doll. With it showing that her head is going to be cut off. Natalie is afraid of voodoo because of her last encounter with it. But in the end it was Angeline cause she was a paramedic and she was the paramedic who was there when the people died. She could go into their houses and place a voodoo doll to make it look like actual voodoo. Monk figures this all out because Jorgensen said that she had bought some voodoo dolls from his shop. And at this time Natalie was in the ambulance with the Angeline cause she had drank some voodoo potion that Jorgensen had made. Turns out that Angeline wanted her uncle dead so that way she would get the money the other two people were just Red Herring's. Angeline was going to kill Natalie because she was thinking that Monk was close to figuring out that it was her. That is why she went after Natalie. But thankfully Natalie is still alive and Angeline is in jail. Good ending don't you think.

This sucks I have recently been told that I have sines infection that I have in my nose and that my throat is red on the inside and that white spots are starting to appear in in my throat as well. So yesterday was when I went to the doctor. Apparently I am contages to some people. But I am not so sure about that. It makes me sad that I just keep on getting sick. I am really getting tired of this whole sickness thing. But there was an upside I got to finish 1 of my many new Xbox 360 games called "Call of Juarez:Bound in Blood". It took me under an hour to finish it. Cause my dad and I have been playing it ever since we got our Xbox 360 last month. I am also working on "Call of Duty 2 Modern Warfare". I have beaten 6 missions already. Soon here I have to start Halo 3 and many others. Mostly war and gun fighting games and fighting games. Being sick is no walk in the park. My dog gets annoying after a while cause he always wants attention. But I am going to go outside and take him for a walk. My mom has been saying not to go outside because I could get other people sick or I can get even more sick and catch something else as well. I am going to school when I am sick and people tell me that I shouldn't. But I still do. My mom doesn't want me to fail 6th grade. And I will not let that happen.

Softball Tryouts Today

Today after school the softball tryouts are next and I hope that I make the team. My dad has been practicing with me and he says that I am really good and that I am going to make the team. But I am really nervous and scared. The possibilities are endless of what can go wrong. First of all I am afraid that it will start raining and then we won't be able to do anything and I would have to wait for like 3 hours for the 5:00 late bus. And I do not want that to happen. I brought I have improved and that I will do great and make the team. My dad agrees with me but I am not so sure. I do not want to disappoint my parents cause my dad plays softball and my mom doesn't. My mom says that it is good to try new things. And I think that she is right. The wind is starting to pick up now and the clouds are becoming darker than before. I fear the worst but I will have to try and succeed. My dad has taught me well and says that I am almost better than him. He says that I might be able to help the guys on his team including him. Well wish me luck.
