Sunday Evening Post #11

Edited to add: Thank you to all my readers- I am now at an Alexa ranking of just over 275k. I am very close to making my Yakezie goal, and it is very exciting!

This weekend was GeekGirl Con, which is where I spent all of Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
Friday Spending
Dinner: ~$25
Books: ~$70
Gas: ~$90
For dinner we split an entrée of mango curry with chicken atour favorite Indian restaurant.  Then westopped by a game store and each picked up a book (WarHammer Fantasy RP forhim, Girl Genius book for me), and then swung down and filled up the tank ofthe car plus another ~7.5 gallons of gas cans.
Saturday Spending
Snacks: ~$10
Earrings: ~$11
Vet: ~$95
The snacks were so I didn’t buy the silly expensive food at Seattle Center while I was there for Geek GirlCon. The earrings are adorable six sided dice that are a marbled blue, green,purple color. .
The vet appointment, though was unplanned. On Thursday, ourBeagle was apparently stung by a bee. She had some swelling of a lip, butotherwise, she was fine. By Saturday night, the swelling of her lip was goingdown nicely, but we noticed her lymph nodes had swelled significantly. Sincethat is a sign of a systemic infection, off to the vet we went at around9:45pm. Now, our vet’s hours go until midnight, so we were not charged anemergency fee (this would be one of the reasons we go to this office) andJunebug got a shot of steroids, antibiotics, and antihistamines. Then we gotRxs for all three to give her over the next 5-10 days. Under $100 is incrediblyreasonable. Unplanned, but this is what savings is for.
Sunday Spending
Starbucks: ~$7
Safeway: ~$5
Geek Girl Con t-shirt: $20
It was critique group Sunday again, so the standardStarbucks expense. On the way home, I picked up some $0.99 bread and come cottosalami from the store. The bread is needed to help Junebug take her pills (hidethem on a piece of peanut butter bread), and the salami just because it soundedgood to me.
And, I knew I was going to get a con t-shirt. I waited untilafter noon to buy one and they were discounted $5.
For the con, it was really nice to have my publictransportation pass which work offers very cheaply. I parked at the light railstation 5 minutes from my house and took the train downtown, with a bus to Seattle Center. I didn’t have to pay forparking, and it honestly took me about the same amount of time as driving wouldhave.
