as expected, the application was declined.
i can supposedly get the money order tomorrow...
i actually suspect it was declined several days ago, and she was holding on to it, hoping to keep it. i'm not surprised or disappointed by any of this - it was a shot in the dark, and it might not have even worked out well. the annoying thing is that i lost a week that i could have spent looking.
i haven't seen anything i'd really jump at, although i'm obviously going to have to spend the day calling.
it seems as though i very well may have to actually file this appeal on the 28th.
