Life on Yavin IV: A working weekend?

Life on Yavin IV

Hello there. I'm Jedi Knight G. Since the creation of the New Jedi Order by Master Skywalker, the Jedi have been free to take part in previously forbidden activities. One of those being Marriage. The following are the tales of my experiences being married with children. May the force be with you...G.

A working weekend?

"Don't center on your anxieties, Obi-wan. Keep your concentration here and now, where it belongs."—Qui-Gon Jinn

Qui-Gon could not be more correct if he wanted to. Problem is...letting go of that anxiety isn't easy. Especially if it is taking place in the here and now. So how do you work that one out Qui-Gon...how?

I've had a whirlwind of a weekend. Lots of things going on. I had planned on working on this project that continues to loom over my head like a probe-droid. Always looking at me, following me where ever I go. I'd love to take a lightsaber or a blaster at this point, that's how uncivilized I've become, and put it out of my misery but the wife won't allow those weapons in the house. One drawback to being a married Jedi. (and NO! The mind trick won't work on wives. They're completely immune to it. SITHSPAWN!)

Anyway, I didn't get any work done on it. It really wasn't anyones fault really. Just the way it works sometimes. But, that still doesn't stop me from becoming agitated an unruley. There's just not enough hours in the day sometimes. Even with all the best intentions I still manage to shortchange something or someone. I'd love to get to Kamino and get them to make some clones of me, but I think they're done with that.

This morning I was able to just relax. I had surrendered to the fact that I wasn't going to get anywhere project wise so I decided to just take a second and find my balance again. Focus. I felt much better after that. Jenn was helpfull. Just letting me be, she knew I needed my solitude so she allowed me to just....be. It was nice and very refreshing.

I'm recharged and ready to face another crazy week...and at the moment I'm not thinking of anything but the Here & Now.
Just being. We'll see how long that last.
