But one night boredom set in and I started going to the local casino. It was lazy of me. All I had to do was sit there and be stimulated. If I had known my brain could be rearranged by this activity, things would be different today.
I was able to play the slot machine hour after hour, waiting for that thrilling moment when it would do the unexpected. The first machine to thoroughly entertain me was "Cleopatra". Wow, 15 free spins during which a jackpot could be won. And, the colors were beautiful to me. She had green eyes, purple eye shadow and flowers that curled around her.
I played it night after night.
So now the hours not gambling are being filled with this blog and creating watercolor and wax paintings. Lifting the wax paper off the watercolor paper and seeing the unexpected results is exciting.
Today I've set Cleopatra on fire. The Queen of Egypt has lost her magic for me the last 33 days and I hope for years to come.
