A Face Made for Radio
So I suppose we are living in some weird in-between time now, where the pandemic isn’t yet past but also isn’t never-endingly present.
How are you all getting through it?
Except for last weekend, when Steven and I camped out on the Appalachian Trail (so far we’ve covered eight of the 115 miles I hope to cover, spanning New York and New Jersey—the first item on MY bucket list!), I’ve been working a lot. Like A LOT a lot. Writing, copyediting (I have 11 jobs now, four last week alone), Ironman training (my first practice race is in July, at Litchfield Hills—an Olympic distance—and my 70.3 is in Atlantic City September 12! You can go here to help my cause! And yes, this is a list item—it’s “own a $200 suit!”)…
This is all a long-winded way of saying I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been busy.
But I realized I still haven’t posted links to those podcasts I did in the winter and spring. It was weird, all of a sudden all these people wanted to talk to me! I loved it, mostly because Steven and I didn’t leave the house for 14 months—he has severe asthma, so was high-risk. Of course now all these articles keep coming out about how if you’re vegan, like we are, you reduce your risk by 75%, or about how if you run, like we do, this reduces risk greatly—and then the CDC just started saying how low the risk is when you’re outdoors. NOW you tell me….
Thanks to the lockdown, I couldn’t see even my own mother in person for a very, very long time and that was very, very hard. So making nine new friends sounded like a great idea!
Here’s the list!
The Healing Gem: “Live With Laura Carney”
Here are some other shots from around here lately:
The apple trees have been coming along nicely. This is Grace, the tallest.
Pinky has been my constant companion as I write, and has developed some weird face-plant sleeping habits. She’s feral and has never let me come this close to her face before.
Girls on the Run NJ sent me some great SWAG for the Ironman…
But I had to buy my own bike—this one’s from Specialized.
We grow veggies inside now, on this Lettuce Grow, a hydroponic indoor farm stand—even Ironman kale!
I’m one step closer to becoming Captain Marvel. (This is my $200 suit.)
My view for most of the pandemic
My view now!
Lots more exciting stuff going on around here I can’t talk about yet…but I will, soon!
