Fish Fry Friday =)

So, my boyfriend, Brandon, belongs to Harrisville Volunteer Fire Company. He is an EMT-Intermediate and a fire fighter. For the past month, the Harrisville Ladies Auxillary (hope I spelled that right) has been putting on Fish Fry's on Fridays to help raise money for them and the fire dept. So, most Fridays I go help from 11-6. I love it because I feel involved and it is something that I am able to do to help.
Because I am so unbalanced, I fall and trip a lot, use people to help me walk, and I "table walk," meaning I use objects to hold on to to get me around.
Everyone involved with the Ladies Auxillary and the Fire Dept. are so nice and helpful. My job at the fish fry's has been to batter the fish before they get fried... which doesn't sound impressive, but I am only stationed to one spot and like I said, it's the fact that I am involved and helping. It makes me feel good. =)

Today, I am leaving the fish fry aroun 15 till 5 to go meet one of my best friends, Amanda, at the movie theaters. We are going to see *Alice in Wonderland* at 5:40. After that, we are going shopping for Rhonda, because her bridal shower is Sunday!
You are probably wondering what this has to do with my ataxia. It doesn't really... except whoever chose the carpet pattern at the movie theater should be fired. LoL. It makes even people without my problems dizzy! It's swirls on red.... I can't explain it, but I'll take a picture tonight and see if I can fi gure out how to post it on this blog.
Anyway, everytime I go to the movies, Rhonda and Amanda tell me not to look at it when I walk. Easy for them to say. I tend to look at the ground a lot, and even when I don't at the theaters, it's still in my peripheral vision and it makes it worse. And to top it off, for some reason almost EVERY movie I see is in the last theater or next to last. If I went to the movies alone, like Hoda, lol, then I'd be like a ping pong ball down the halls. Either that or I'd be crawling, lol.
All I'm saying, is that Carmike Cinema in St. Clairsville, Ohio needs to seriously re-think their carpet choice.
