So, today’s post is image heavy. I spent the day with Usagi, Lex, and Megan today. It was lovely.
We started the day in downtown St. Petersburg. The four of us went to this raw, vegan joint called Rawkstar Cafe in the arts district on the 700 block of Central Avenue.
It was a little difficult to find something for me to eat, allergies considered. But I ended up getting the Beyond Burger with some air fried French fries. It was really good.

After that, we went to Sawgrass Lake Park. There are three trails there and we walked two of them.

We took the Sawgrass Trail first and saw tortoises, fish, and tons of bugs.



I had a lot of fun.

I want to draw the above flower and figure out what kind of flower it is. Maybe I can incorporate it into my flower sleeve.

I saw beauty-berries on our walk today.8 didn’t eat any, but I did take a picture of them.

There was a small butterfly garden at the Park as well.
There was also an educational center that had a display regarding the local fauna, like bobcats, screech owls, hummingbirds, and copperhead snakes.


It was pretty cool. We spent several hours walking.

After that, we were peckish again. Since Lex is strictly Vegan, we had to find a place that she would be able to eat as well as the rest of us. We ended up in Gulfport’s downtown/arts district so we could all get something a little heartier to eat.
Lex got a vegan Ruben sandwich at a vegan deli place called the Golden Dinosaurs.


Since the weather was turning from sunny to oncoming storm, we took refuge at Siri’s Gourmet Burgers & Pizza for our meal. I got a deluxe pizza which was pretty good.

The pizza was pretty good, even if the proprietor was relatively unpleasant to deal with. Well, one of them was. The female owner was a joy and especially sweet.
We left after our meal and the rain had almost died off entirely. We headed back to Megan’s house and said our goodbyes.
All in all, a lovely day off. I have work tomorrow and it will be interesting not being the only one in the office anymore. My direct supervisor, Miss A, is coming back into the office for at least the next few weeks.
I’m pleasantly tired today. Mentally, I’m doing okay. I’m suicidal, yeah, but I don’t have plans or anything. Things are going well right now and so don’t want to screw that up.
Anyway, I’ve got to go to bed.
Take your meds, folks.
