      My noise cancelling headphones work great and my mower’s electric. It’s not loud at all.

      But I’m mostly saying “quiet” to mean being away from other people

        Had a friend and his wife move in with us for a short time as they were moving to our city for a new job. They offered to help with chores and whatnot around the house, and he specifically mentioned he could help with yard work. I told him in no uncertain terms that that was my “me time” and he was to never intrude on that again. He chuckled knowingly.

          Yup, I had a friend crash with us for a bit to get back on his feet and I had the exact same convo with him. Nah dawg, you can do the dishes… yards mine.
