And By The Way; It’s also National No Housework Day!
Do whatever you want that DOESN’T involve housework. No washing dishes, no folding laundry, no even putting laundry away! Just let it all go. Instead, pour yourself a glass of wine (or just drink from the bottle if none are clean, NO HOUSEWORK) and give yourself a day of leisure.

You stand to make a pretty penny selling a home these days. The median price for existing homes reached $241,700 in February, marking 72 consecutive months of year-over-year price increases, says the National Association of Realtors.
