Monday, Monday...

Hello and good morning, perhaps good afternoon.

I've been advertising challenges here on Section VII, but some of you may have noticed I'm not getting much done regarding the various opportunities.  My life lately has been overtaken by family responsibilities, specifically in helping my cousin and his wife.

They're both in their mid-eighties, and my cousin's wife is a dialysis patient.  I drive her three days a week to those sessions.  In the past few weeks, my cousin has had some health problems, and last week had to be taken to the ER while I was in Bowling Green with his wife.

Long story (and a very long day), made a little less so, it turns out the doctors saw a spot, a small mass, on his pancreas.  That meant more doctors, more appointments, and the future filled with the same.  He'll need to be tested for covid-19 before a surgery can be confirmed, but one is scheduled for a biopsy later this month.  Going into August there will be follow up appointments, and on and on...

Of course, the hope remains that this is not cancerous.  I try to never stand on the side of pragmatism, and even when things look dire, I have sufficient history with grace and healing to petition God for more.

Short Affair PROMPTS for July 20th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

I almost forgot again.

The prompts for stories due on July 6th can be found below the cut. As I failed to post prompts last week, feel free to look through previous prompts for today's posting.

Don't forget, you can now chose to use one of the prompt words, or to use both in your story (not forgetting the colour element), remembering to state which combination of prompts you are using.

Remember, Section VII is a Gen site, but stories which are Het, Long-term Romance or AU can be posted in mfu_map_room

You can post directly to Section VII or, if you wish, you can post your story elsewhere and provide a link. Please say where the link leads as a lot of people are unwilling to go to certain sites. Don't forget, Section VII and the Map Room are both available on Dreamwidth, for those of you who can figure it out (Just let us know if you posted there).

Have fun.
