Entry Six
Today I had a rare full day off.
Perhaps Kyran and Sian were right and that spare time does exist after all.
Since I could do whatever I wanted with my day, I went to see Master Gardner Iyne, and she and I spent a good portion of the day planting flowers in the gardens.
I thought it would be absolutely wonderful to spend the day engrossed in such an activity and Master Iyne is one of the few Jedi who understand what it is like to be immersed in the Living Force and feel it, wholly and completely. I was sweaty and covered in dirt and mud, but I enjoyed myself more today than I have in a long time.
By mid-afternoon we had finished the planting. We planted Schwa bushes, Alderaanian Roses, Siscinian Firethorns, Midiron Bulbs, and Corellian Florsettes. The gardens are going to have so much color in a few months; I can hardly wait to see!
After I washed up from the morning's planting, I cooked myself a tradalon steak sandwich for noon meal, then I went to the archives, to spend the rest of my day. I love spending time in the archives, digging through old legends and ancient Jedi history. I don't have much opportunity to research such things, because most of the time when I'm studying, I'm doing something for a mission, and my personal interests slide to the side all too often. It started to rain outside, as I was there.
It's so comforting to spend a day in the archives, listening to the sound of the rain as you bury yourself deep in a holobook.
Perfect days are very rare, so I record this one here.
