Today we observe National No Housework Day.  This is a day where we are suppose let it all go!  The dishes, dust, and laundry. All household chores are to be put off until tomorrow.

This day was created to give us a day of relaxation.  We are suppose to do something that does not involved ANY house cleaning.

I know this is probably my husband and children’s favorite holiday.  No nagging from mom/wife about dishes in the sink or clothes on the floor.

To celebrate post #NoHouseWorkDay and do something that doesn’t involve cleaning.

My post will be with my feet up and a glass of wine.  I hope to enjoy it – but if I see dust on the end table I may have to …….let it go until tomorrow:)

Every year 300,000 new cases of Lyme Disease are reported in America. But health experts are now saying that 2017 may be the worst Lyme Disease outbreak ever.

This is due to an increase in acorns expected this year.  The surge in acorns means the mouse populations will rise and so will the disease carrying ticks.

Lyme disease symptoms can be treated mostly with antibiotics, but severe symptoms can set in if there is a long period of time between when the bite occurs and the person has been diagnosed. Doctors are reporting more and more patients are being diagnosed with an advanced case of Lyme disease.

The most confirmed cases of Lime disease in the U.S. are Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Some early symptoms of early Lyme disease are flu-like illness with possible fever, chills, sweats, muscle aches, fatigue, nausea and joint pain. Some patients have a rash or Bell’s palsy.

Let’s hope 2017 does not go down in history as the worst outbreak of Lyme disease.
