Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.


HEY, IT'S OKAY....


.....to be going to see Freakier Friday this week. We recently watched Freaky Friday to prepare! I'm looking forward to it.


.....to currently be reading Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. It's about Tova, an older woman who cleans the local aquarium to keep busy. Her son vanished when he was 18 and she never figured out what happened to him. As she's cleaning, she becomes friends with an octopus named Marcellus, who seems to understand her. He has decided to make it his mission to figure out what happened to her son. This has been such a fabulous read. The friendship between Tova and Marcellus is sweet. 


.....to be a little weirded out that I no longer have a student in K-12--school started Monday and none of mine are going. Their college starts August 25th. 


.....to be glad Natalie has been communicating with her roommate in college. It seems they will get along. They have a lot in common. Tommy stays in a dorm with a common space and 4 separate rooms so he gets his space. But Natalie has that common college room set up with one room, two students. 


.....to have thought this Stranger Things pizza we found at Walmart tasted good. They had a bunch of different flavors and there's a collectible sticker inside. And yes, we are excited for the final season even though I've totally forgotten what all has happened.

  3. My son is going into high school this year. I’m a bit sad because he is my baby. But I know he will do great. Congrats on both of yours going to college. But it scares me to be a potential empty nester in a few short years. But that is partly why I also have animals. It helps keep me from being lonely.

  5. I love how you effortlessly blend the excitement of watching Freakier Friday with the heartfelt moments of your kids’ college transitions—it captures the bittersweet joy of this season perfectly. Plus, your discovery of Remarkably Bright Creatures and that quirky Stranger Things pizza at Walmart added just the right mix of comfort and charm.

  6. The Stranger Things part had me cracking up! We can't wait either, and also can't remember a lot of what has happened LOL. We haven't tried the pizza yet.

  7. If you mistime Geometry Dash Scratch, you will have to start over from the beginning - so timing and reflexes are the keys to victory.
