Sunny (and HOT) Saint George

     I have had quite a bit of time on my hands to think because this nasty bug that keeps coming back.  No, again, I am not pregnant.  I never lie about that.  I've asked this flu to go away and it does, but then it comes back a day later.  I really hate feeling pregnant and at the end not getting a baby out of it.  I've been sick longer than many people have morning sickness.  Somewhere up in Heaven there better be a maid service for my mansion on high that I am earning by enduring this trial of the digestive track.
     I wonder if that is how it really works.  Do the people in the Telestial kingdom have the job of cleaning the mansions of the people in the Celestial kingdom?  Well if I have to be pregnant and clean my house for eternity, I don't want it.  That would not be heaven for me.
     To entertain myself while sitting in my bed I have watched many movies, read every book I own from a certain author who will remain nameless because she writes relationship fiction and I am too embarrassed to say her name aloud.  Our library doesn't carry them so I have to buy them if I want to read them.  Does it count as a guilty pleasure if it is harmless?
     I have also been looking up homes for sale in St. George.  It would be so much less money for us to own a home in St. George right now than it costs us to live in Enoch.  Only one problem:  Our house.  Does anyone know anyone who would rent it from us and actually be responsible enough so that it isn't a financial train wreck for us?
     The pros for moving to St. George keep growing while the pros to stay where we are  keep shrinking.  First the pros for staying.
     1.  Our house is not sell-able
     2.  We love Enoch and our neighbors (but my favorite ones are slowly moving away)
     3.  Less far away from our parents (but mine are moving, so that really doesn't count for me)
     4.  I hate the heat
     5.  I hate traffic

     Now the pros for moving.
     1.  Save on gas money
     2.  3 hours more a day for work and wholesome recreation
     3.  If we don't go now, we won't be able to afford to when the housing market improves
     4.  Closer to some family
     5.  Closets and storage space so the house will look clean when everything is put away
     6.  More stores than Wal-mart (that actually may be a con in a way)

     It is really a moot point because our house is hanging around our necks like a mill stone.  We were inspired to buy it (well, I thought so at the time).  Now it is preventing us from living within our means.  Where is a good house fire when you need one?  Why are other people's houses destroyed by lightning when you feel the need for a smite?  Other than winning the lottery or inheriting a couple hundred grand from a long lost relative, we are stuck.
     So to pass the time, I will read my books again, watch all my movies again, and pretend that my book earned me a million dollar signing bonus so that we can move.  Living in a fantasy world can have its benefits.
