This year, it seemed, a little quieter than others, but, all in all still a good time. A few of the usual faces, light conversations, the son & his friends, chat, dance, party the night away until 7:00 AM...
Then, a brief sleep and the long days to recovery. There was a Lunar Beltane, Winlaw, for the next 3 days, but I need to work on my Stamina, one night and I'm bloody exhausted.

At Share, looking for a few things. Reading glasses (on my last pair), a few odds and sods. 10:00 AM, as soon as they open, and I run into S*, who a few years ago I worked with at the D&D. She was overweight then, lost a ton of weight on the crystal meth diet, was posting swimsuit modelling pictures of herself every day on Facebook.
And then she started rebutting accusations she lost the weight thanks to a diet of largely crystal meth, and then started posting daily how many days and weeks she'd been sober, and then about abusive boyfriends and landlords. In the end you snooze her.
So, here she is, rough as nails, homeless again, apparently shaved her head into a full Mohawk, she's starting to look like a late-stage meth-head.
She's zoodled, she's talking to me, can't make eye contact, going on a mile a minute, she's got to get out of Nelson, needs a place to camp, get it together, had it with this town, someplace off the grid, I must know? I would know, of course, but she's too busy talking to heed any recommendations, going off, trying to conceal the fact that she's still high as a kite through a superabundance of inane chatter and diatrebe and don't look at her, don't look at her, she's hiding in shame and righteousness
This girl needs to learn to Fentanyl and Chill. In any event, mid thirties, recovery unlikely, scraping by on disability for her ADHD, which I find ironic, how do you diagnose ADHD in a meth-head...
Anyways, mentioned her before, a few more mentions I'm sure and she'll be off to her forever home.

...and, now that there's the possibility that Ken will be coming back I can't wait to pitch to him my idea of an "Escape Room" based around the premise of a first date with Ken.
Actually, it's not a date, you've asked him for a ride to .... wherever ... and you have to disabuse him of the notion that this is a romantic getaway, dissuade him from getting the wrong notion, dodge his flirting attempts and swoop-ins for kisses, you lose if he bursts into tears....if you tell him you're a lesbian he doubles his efforts...
Anyways, it's just a rough idea so far, but I'll hammer it out with Ken when I have him trapped again in the Kitchen...

And Chris, prospecting buddy who'd come with me to Crystal Mountain, now growing more than a little painful, he's irate I didn't buy him a ticket to Amissa, irate that I charged him for an extra chip-mayo at the restaurant, he's become a bit too-much the dog-gone begging, always broke and so you pay, for gas, food, spot him a hundred bucks that disappears into the void. It's just another drop in the bucket with Chris.
He's always broke, for the record, because he just bought a snowmobile for the winter, used it once, and then sold it at a loss. He's broke because he just bought himself a new Motorcycle. He's broke because he bought himself a motorcycle outfit. He'd spend money but we're too expensive. He's expecting money to come in from his sister/mother/father for his birthday/Christmas...
In short, his whole lifestyle is based on being a dollar short and a day too late, and he does very well for himself in this perpetual poverty and I've grown more than a little tired of subsidizing it...
