This week is going to be so long: doctor's/therapy/pt appointments, DHS stuff, taxes...

The reason for denial was "refusal to cooperate with the eligibility process". What? I uploaded every document they asked for. The only thing I could potentially see if there's not enough info on the GFM donors.

WHY ALL SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY WRITERS ARE HISTORIANS
Yes, *all*
And, no, it isn't just for the reason you think...

I've been working toward this one for a while, very excited to share it!
