Overprotective

I am seeing my psychiatrist on Wednesday, April Fool's Day. I don't really celebrate April Fool's, so do not expect to find an entry from myself that is totally bogus. I don't like to trick people. I haven't been writing entries very often lately, so I might not write one that day. Who knows. She is going to ask the same question, which is basically, "Tell me how you've been?". Good thing I only see her once every two or three months, because usually I don't have much to say to her. Truth is, I've been doing very good, probably for the past ten appointments. I am still looking for a job, now I am waiting to hear from a state park for an interview. If she asks me what job it is, I will tell her it is data entry. She doesn't understand the English word keyboard- as in keyboard specialist. I don't remember what country she is from, but there is a definite language barrier.

The only real part of my life that is currently bugging me is my living situation. I must say though that if I can survive this house for three years, I can survive it for another if necessary. My one housemate has been working on quitting smoking, she hasn't had a cigarette in six days. One less smoker will definitely be nice. Smoking is going to be banned in my house in June, but I think my other housemate will break the rule during the few days of the month that she lives here. I spend the majority of my time at this house in my room: on the computer or listening to music mainly. I don't watch much TV, though I do watch the weather kind of regularly.

Now, to get to the subject of this post... my mother is very overprotective of my two cats, Spooky and Katrina, that live with her. My parents are going to Maine for a couple of days and are leaving the house to be watched by my sister. Apparently, that is not good enough for them. They want me and my boyfriend to "stop by" the house twice, one time being during the day while my sister is at work, to keep the cats company. It is not all so bad that they want me to do that, but that week is my boyfriend's Spring Break and also our one year anniversary. It is much better than neglecting my cats, but I think they will be OK with my sister. My sister is 26 years old now, she took care of a cat at her ex-boyfriend's apartment so I am sure she can take care of Spooky and Katrina. I definitely will stop by at least once to ease my parents mind.

As I mentioned, my one year anniversary with my boyfriend is coming up. We are going to go into NYC to a fairly fancy Italian restaurant. It will be a romantic way to celebrate our year together. Hopefully we will get good weather for that day/night.
