Last night I went out with a friend and ended up at a casino that's about 20 minutes from home. That would usually be too close for comfort but lately I have been emboldened and working towards being fully open about who I am. I wore black pvc leggings, red stilettos, and a red oversized, lowcut sweater top. Anyway, had a few drinks at the bar and played blackjack (lost), roulette (won), and even some slots (lost). This is a popular spot for middle aged and older people in my area, so it was kind of inevitable that I would see someone I knew. Well, in fact, last night I saw three people who know me well. I walked right past them a couple of times over the course of the night, with my heart racing, and nothing happened. There were even two instances of eye contact, which was honestly quite thrilling. Nothing. By this point, it's obvious to me that I am not recognizable as Monica but it's still a real rush to find myself in those situations. Overall, I had a great time at the casino. Disclaimer: I am a terrible gambler and have never emerged with any kind of significant earnings from any casino ever. Last night, I arrived with a budget of $200 to burn. I won, lost, won, and lost again. I went home with $120. All in all, $80 spent on a night of gambling, laughs, thrills and good company was a bargain.
