The Little Things

Doesn't that picture just make you cringe? Thanks to the subzero temperatures in Minnesota as of late, I'm dealing with a whole slew of plumbing issues. A frozen well pump and the main septic line dripping in the crawl space. Oh yeah, good times. Good times. All of this while it's been -30 below zero with the wind chill. I can't exactly go out and shut off the water. I mean, I imagine the pipes and well pump would freeze solid and not defrost until spring. Which in Minnesota means April, by the way. One thing dealing with all of these plumbing issues has done, however, is cement the issue in my brain, heart and soul, that yes, indeed, we do need to move back home. Home?Arizona. It's a balmy 50 degrees there about now. Yes, I could SO use that temperature difference.Now, the fun of moving. Of finding a place to move into first, I suppose. We have animals, so we can't exactly just pull up stakes and hit the road. Not to mention, my nephew is in school until May. But, if I can find the right house, in the right neighborhood, in a fabulous school district, I might just run. Quickly. That means saving every penny. Trying to motivate myself enough to write and format and upload as many books as I can on the Amazon KDP website. I have four completed books that can be uploaded. I have many more in progress. So, to make a long story short. 2013 is going to be a busy year.A year of returning to my roots.It's terrifying and yet comforting at the same time.I have family in Arizona. I have friends. Good friends.I won't feel quite so...alone.I'm trying to blog more in 2013. I'm trying to make this my most productive year, but I hesitate to announce that because when I do utter aloud something along these lines, usually Murphy of Murphy's Law is pretty quick to retaliate.  Have a wonderful day and a fabulous year.Taylor
