Why do I hide?

This morning I was awakened by a loud, persistant knock on my door. Although I had called in a repair order for my kitched sink a day or so ago I was not dressed for any sort of company. The typical procedure for maintenance at my apartment complex is to knock for a while and if no one answers they use the key to come in and do the work that has been ordered. Of course, they always leave a work order to let you know that they have been there. I knew the next step would be for the maintenance man to try to come in. So, I jumped up, threw on my robe, and locked myself in the bathroom. I have no idea why I did this. You see, I had the door bolted so even a key cannot open the door. It had to be unlocked from the inside. So, why in the world did I feel the need to lock myself away? I guess it's just a natural reaction from a woman who lives alone. Anytime someone knocks on my door, if I'm not expecting someone, I always run and hide! I know some of you who have lived alone can understand this. Not much else to report today, Bloggers!
