I run up and down the hill behind SS3/22, and eat a rava thosai alone. The birthday lunch is at noon, and some guests have arrived when we get there. We sit with Sam's cousins, sister and her husband - during the meal I decide that I will stop attending these events. These people have only self interest, and I am not interested in spending time with them.
We begin doing something constructive after lunch; check into the Hilton, go to IKEA, wrap up four sets of table legs, return to the hotel for pre-dinner drinks (complimentary, of course) before preparing for our respective dinners (she with Meow, and me with Sher-lin).
SL and I have a long dinner, talking about experiencing joy in our work. It is the case of 'just because we make it look easy does not mean that it IS easy. Likewise, just because I appear happy at what we are doing, it does not mean that we are happy doing what we are doing ALL the time. We have just learn to relish the good times more than the bad.
