*aargg* For some reason I can't share a link to it. But if you look up Stuart Smalley Daily Affirmation on Youtube, you can watch it.

It seems like a reasonable safety precaution to shower while your fiance is home, just in case. Although you're right, it's perhaps not the best idea for him to be checking on you every five minutes.
I rotated sleeping at the foot of my bed instead of at the head of my bed for many years as a child. I thought if someone attacked me in my sleep, they might be fooled just long enough for me to get the jump on them. My bed was next to the wall, and sometimes I would slide the mattress over just enough for me to wedge between it and the wall, then sleep on the box spring. Once again, I thought it might give me that extra second to surprise them. I still sleep with knives, but I keep them rolled up in a case now, so I don't hurt anyone. It's just the psychological reassurance of knowing they are there.
