For my writing and for a situation with a fraudster

[beatitude]

Please pray for my work. I have to submit a chapter on my thesis and I haven't started. I just have no motivation for it at the moment and I feel so guilty for procrastinating. That only makes me procrastinate worse. Ask for St Joseph to inspire me with diligence and all the rest of it.

Secondly, a friend recently became Catholic and I wanted to get her an amber rosary as a special gift, as she really loves amber. On arrival it turned out to be plastic. The seller denied it. Luckily I paid by PayPal, who say I'm eligible for a refund, but the seller is being very nasty and keeps sending hostile e-mails. I think he is going to try and claim that the rosary was never returned or do something else to avoid giving me my money back. I am on a tight budget and I made sacrifices to get my friend this present. Please pray for this to be resolved and for him to be more honest.
