October 17 & 18: Helping Hands

Okay people, here’s the dealio-oh. It’s not easy writing a blog that has so many interesting things in it everyday that people want to keep tuning in. Kai and I aren’t the greatest in the planning department so we’ve decided we can use the blog to improve our ever-deteriorating planning skills by thinking of what we are going to do before the day of (I know, crazy right?). We actually did have one such plan in place and that was to attend a workshop on how to build up immunity, but unfortunately that was cancelled and we still don’t know the inside secrets to share with you guys. So bear with us as we get the hang of this “really living life and then blogging about it” thing.

Anyways, I am ashamed to admit we did nothing of any consequence yesterday as I worked on boring old schoolwork and Kai… well, I’m not really sure what Kai did. He paved the path to hell with good intentions… oh, and he bought me some groceries and brought them over, which brings me to my blog topic: Helping Hands.

If there is one thing Kai and I are pretty good with, that’s helping people. For example, yesterday he brought me groceries and I sewed up a hole in his jeans pocket and burned all my pictures onto a disc for him. Today, Kai helped his friend Jeremy move along with some other very helpful people and I went to my Mom’s to put all her Ikea furniture together for her. I can tell you I did a fabulous job on the dresser, but it must have tired me out because when I put together her TV stand I had to take it all apart again as I had put a shelf on upside-down. That was a little embarrassing as I boast about being a professional at putting Ikea furniture together. Oh well, the point is we love to help others, to the best of our abilities, and uh… I lost my train of thought. Something like “help others because it’s good for your soul.” I swear I had a much more magnificent point there. Okay, I had nothing.

We don’t actually have any pics of us helping others. I would like to say that’s because we think it seems cheesy to take pics of yourself doing good deeds, but the real reason is we forgot. So to compensate I give you updated pics from my apartment so you can see how the leaves are changing colour quickly (refer to photo on October 14th). It’s not fascinating, but it’s beautiful:)
