thanks @kristyglas, you bring up an important element - sound or lack of it! Very important! For creative work I need quiet too, or ambient sound can be fine but relative quiet is best and not to be disturbed. Mental health, peace - yes yes yes, well said.
Thanks for your contribution to the conversation!!
And bugs, rodents....not fun to wake up to!! I actually woke up screaming with bad dreams of rodents on me for several nights after the real thing LOL!!
