(Apologies if completely off. Im new to this on a virtual level. Have always been face to face)

I believe this was review of whats to come. In the sense: the children, are the 2 friends (i dont know why, but..are both female, but one is exceptionally masculine?) Rarely there: as the friends have never really been daily life friends. You appreciate and enjoy them. But, not on each others call list for announcing promotions, or a relatives passing/birth.

Anyway, you already know your.going to be there. Eeeeeven though, noooot quite on that list. You'll do it. In an odd..minimally detached way. So that your MOSTLY there. The dog, keeps you in check. Connected to what ur doing. When you start to float too far away (too detached=indifferent) he brings you back. When they get home. Would be the end result. Ie, when watching is over, for better or for worse. Packets: either leftover brains, or YOU need some chinese food BAD! lol



Oh, the house thing. That one..too vague for me. I would need more details. IF i didnt totally biff the above....of course.
