CLIF. BARS.

Guys, I wasn't kidding yesterday when I said I was going to buy Clif Bars in bulk today:

that happened..

Coffee, Pills & Trail Mix.....

How's THAT for a semi-intriguing, far-misleading click-bait title?!

But seriously.

Today started off with coffee and breakfast from Community Blend, because a) I'm obsessed with that place, and b) I wanted something outside of our parking lot options [aka, Kroger or McDonald's]. Win? Win.

ten thousand villages @ community blend!
cincinnati, oh 

^ One other thing that I love about CB is their partnership with Ten Thousand Villages, an organization advocating for fair trade artisans and their work. Their shelves are always politely adorned with the work of a artists from a specific country.

Which reminds me..... I'M GOING TO PANAMA IN FIVE DAYS.

That brings me to the pills part of this: Don't let that tricky tagline get ya... Yes, I've been on a pill regimen for the past like, 12 days or something like that... but they are malaria pills and I am taking them so that I don't get malaria.

Today I celebrated the taking of the LAST pill in that set, and swallowed it down along with the fervent hope that these suckers will do their job and keep the virus at bay.

malaria pills.. done and done!! 

Lastly, I stopped at REI for a reason completely unrelated to Clif Bars, but walked out with two of them anyway because they are the featured bar of the month now at REI. That probably means nothing to most of you, but given that they're typically in the range of $1.35-$1.50 each nowadays, finding them for $.98/ea is a no-brainer. Say hello to what I'll be coming back tomorrow to buy in bulk:

clif bars.. subaru... guys, i am so rei right now..
... hahaha :p 

And there ya have it; I'm going to Panama in 5 days, and am tying up all the loose ends as I can each day.

Please, please please continue to pray for this, for me and for my team.

That's a wrap, folks!
