FIELD REPORT DU HQ | From Wherever It May Be Said<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have access to her Facebook<\/strong> account, go leave Momkoke<\/strong> a brief and warm holiday or birthday message.<\/a><\/span> She is having a rough stretch with depression right now, not so much because of Christmas<\/strong> and its end-of-year glaze but due to the fact that I seem incapable of putting needed life changes in motion for her so we can get her resettled and cared for properly. It\u2019s arguable that I should not even be spending time on this Confidential tripe in the coming weeks and months, let alone right now. Not good. Not much of the last five years of our lives has<\/em> been good. 2022 is all about improvement. Right?<\/p>\n
