And I’m not moving farther away, either. I stick with the normal rotation of the Earth around the Sun for now.

With the normal rotation of the earth in it's orbit, you *are* moving closer and farther away from the sun. The earth's orbit is not a circle, it's an ellipse, with one foci essentially at the center of the sun.

True. The Earth is actually about 3 million miles closer to the Sun during northern hemisphere *winter*.
