Gretchen, you picked all the wrong places! If you'd use the rain forest here in Washington, no black flies, just moss... And the basement has to be in Arizona, where it's all dry... And try using a fake fireplace, with natural gas flames around unmoving logs!
BTW, my favorite place to relax is my deck, in the summer... :)
Love this, Gretchen! I really needed a laugh and this came at the exact perfect time. I needed a stress reliever but visualizing someplace calmer only brought home the point that I was very much NOT there. I think such things can help at times, but they (and we) have our limits.
Thanks for the chuckles!

Just reading your article and visualizing all that hilarous mayhem is an excellent stress reliever.
thank you Gretchen
