Hey!

I’m Hannah. I’m just trying to figure things out, truly.

It’s almost the best season where ya get to sit in the not-humid, cool shade on the back porch, sip on a beer or some wine and read a book. It was cool this week, and I read “Breathing In,” an excerpt from a larger book that I can’t remember on the porch. The end of the semester is in sight but boy oh boy is it still killing me. 03/22.

Life, lately. Featuring a tired pup and a knitted beanie.

Wow, ok, it’s been a long time since I’ve written anything. Not sure how that happened, but alas.

- I started grad school in the fall, and that along with an assistantship and working full time has been really kicking my butt!

- We moved into a house, and it’s been so nice to have my own space. We have a porch, and I’ve been loving sitting outside.

- My dog is 1! I can’t believe it. She’s grown up so fast. Feels like we just got her the other day.

- I’ve been reading so much lately, but none of the things I’ve been reading have been books so I feel a little bit lazy for no reason.

Does anyone know how to avoid anxiety in grad seminars loooool? I feel like that’s the hardest part of grad school for me is getting the courage to speak up in class.

I’d upload some photos of what I’ve been up to, but I’m on my computer and for whatever reason the photos don’t want to upload. So it goes.

good books, covid shots, cute pup, and a thriving house plant

treated myself to a kindle and a new mug to celebrate my raise ahhh!!!!

[willrun-forcinnamonbuns]

long time no check-in! just thought i’d include some lil pics of what i’ve been up to. my poor succulent isn’t doing well and i’m not sure why? any advice?

life has just been kinda boring for me. i haven’t gone anywhere (like most of us) since lockdown started. but i do have a week off next week and i’m going to read and relax and not think about work. i’m excited for it.

i’m reading a little life right now, and (you do you obviously) but i really don’t recommend it!

happy friday pals

a good book, sunflowers and blue skies 😍

✨ i found some yellow flowers on my run tonight, and ya know i had to take a picture.

✨i’ve been reading more lately, which makes me really happy. i’m currently reading home before dark by riley sagar (i think that’s how you spell their name) and it is v v good i highly recommend it for a fun summer read. i’m listening to the hate u give on audiobook and it’s also v v good.

✨ got some new plant friends! i am on the lookout for a fiddle leaf fig. i might try to go to a nursery this week and see if i can find one because they’re sold out at home depot and lowe’s in my area.

✨ my husband’s grandma showed me how to make strawberry jam and it is waaaaay better than anything you can buy and it’s worth the effort to make it.

✨also my sister-in-law’s dog is adorable ❤️

i’ve been super MIA on here mostly because i’ve been busy with work.

✨i’m getting back into running and might sign up for a half at the end of december (if it’s safe to run in groups by then).

✨i’m loving these flowers i got from trader joe’s yesterday! and i’m v happy that the manicure i gave myself last week still looks nice.

happy monday pals!

my first attempt at making sourdough bread!

can we please talk about how difficult it is to find a fulfilling job? and also work with people who are kind?!

[willrun-forcinnamonbuns]

why hello everyone. it’s been a while? how is everyone doing?

a lot has changed in my life. i moved from florida to north carolina and also got married!

✨we had a little coronavirus-social-distancing wedding with only eight people (including us) outside. it was a really beautiful day! we were going to get married in july or august, but i realized that we could get married on star wars day and that’s super great so we were like yolo. no regrets. i got my dress online for like $200 and it’s nice we could have a lil ceremony without it being $$$? i think we spent like $300 total. p good imo.

✨i purchased these cute notebooks from a london-based shop called choosing keeping and holy cow they are cute! took a month to get to the states but worth it.

✨we have a little flower garden in our backyard and we are also trying to grow tomatoes. will update you all on how that goes!

✨we also repurposed the stools so they can hold some plants!

✨work has been stressful today but some days are like that. just trying to take things as they come and not worry so much.

[willrun-forcinnamonbuns]

such a beautiful day today. love love love my home.

i’ve been making so much good food lately, and it’s been fun to experiment with the ingredients that i have in my house. i’ve been really digging this spicy tofu lately and it goes with pretty much everything.

i challenged my future sister-in-law to one of those apple watch competitions and it’s been a fun way to motivate myself to get outside and run or walk. i’m winning so far (muahahhahah).

i’ve always worked remote/from home, and i’m finding it a little more difficult to focus on my work just because things have (obviously) been super crazy. hopefully tomorrow i’ll be able to sit and feel less panick-ey.

hope you all are doing well ❤️
