Long Weekend
I think the weirdest thing about living full time in a hotel is this awareness of how I have to get up and leave during the afternoon. It's not like I'm at my own place and can sleep in then wander around doing stuff online and other things, instead I need to get up and head out. I mean I can sleep in and its wonderful to have someone pick up after me, its just odd. The good news is that its now less than two weeks before I can move into my apartment, which means I have to start arranging utilities and various other stuff. I hope that my stuff will arrive the same day I move in, if not I will camp in the apartment until it does. I just keep going, wow, I headed back out here about August 22nd or so and since then I've been living out of suitcases and with only part of my stuff. It's going to be amazing to have my TV, my books, my kitchen stuff and more of my winter clothes.
Also I think I'm going to investigate meetup.com and even OKCupid soon, because I'm feeling a bit adrift and having people and places to connect to outside of work will help me a lot. This whole experience has brought out some of my shyness when I'm not at work because I'm very on there.
Today my wandering has taken me to the other Barnes and Noble and their cafe, which is bigger and where I won't get told that I can't plug my laptop in if the cord is anywhere people might walk. Tomorrow is the first professional development day, which I'm looking forward to. I have no idea what to expect from it and figure I'll spend most of it listening and taking notes.
Friday there was some writing though it happened kind of late. I'd love to find out where my longer fic brain has got to. I think most of my creativity has been going into Slenderman nightmares for Charles in Milliways, which works but I'd like to write other things as well. Though the Weekend DE of AU prompts worked for me.

"Oh my dear bird, this is among the greatest joys I have known. Its almost as fine as wine." "Don't fall off, silly pirate."
Charles and Lily - similar boundaries
You teach? Is that enough?" "No, many times its far from enough, but its what I can do now." "Now, now you've been hurt?"
Jane & Tom - stolen moments
London passed them by as they held hands and leaned together away from the rain. She shifted closer and dared to kiss him.
Dem - free
Freedom means life and growth. Her daughter laughing the sunlight, a child playing, a field of wheat reaching to the light.

Charles, don't panic
"Be calm, Raven!" "Men chasing us in New York, no!" "I can fix this, don't worry." "Then fix it." "Fine, I will. Gentleman, no."
Moist-Claudia, mending fences
"What's this?" "An apology of sorts. A book about the great inventions of the Disc." "You got me a book. Thank you, now spill."
Jane-Regulus, unexpected blessings
The greatest changes we make are from within." "Does it ever work?" "I think it can, but I find it difficult to do properly."
