    I had 8 job interviews today, for a promotion I have been looking forward to for over a year now. Talk about pressure!

    Anyway, I wake up in the middle of the night and there was a power outage. I could not see a thing, even my own hand in front of me. I was alone in the house, hubs is away on a business trip.

    I was nervous to fall back asleep and not wake up on time to get to my interviews. But, I had faith and tried to get back to sleep.

    Then I heard noises. Like steps. I have cats and thought it was them, but the noise was way too loud to be cats. My mind starts racing. My heart starts pounding. Really hard. I was convinced there was someone in the house that had shut the breakers and was there to attack me.

    I know it's irrational, but I really imagined that this was the last moments of my life and that they had knives. So I locked myself in the bathroom, very quietly. I was trying to figure out a way to escape from the window, but I was on the second floor!

    Nothing was happening, but I couldn't get out and go back to bed, as I was afraid the attacker was waiting for me to make that mistake.

    I couldn't find a way to get out without making noice. Over one hour later, power came back. I opened the lights everywhere in the house and slept the last hour of the night with lights open.

    Talk about showing up to interviews well rested! I just told my hubs about it and he is so sweet. He didn't make fun of me for panicking, he said he understood completely.

    Phew! I had to let it out!

    Oh my gosh! Poor thing so sorry! I would have done the same thing.. my husband thinks i am too paranoid about stuff sometimes but that is just how i am- i always consider the worst case scenario.

    I had a similar situation on vacation in Jamacia. We were at a gated resort with guards at the front but they had the alarms go off and the power went out! I was in a room by myself for a friends wedding because FI (at time- husband now) wasn't able to go because of school. It was a big resort so not everyone had rooms near each other. I wound up hiding out in the bride's grandmother's room for awhile lol! I was so scared because i had heard about how unsafe parts of Jamaica are; I thought we were being invaded! hah i have to laugh about it now. 

    I hope the interviews went well!
