I'm OK Thursday.

Yesterday was crap, until 7 p.m. so I'm taking today to remind myself that I'm doing just fine, thank you.
It's been a month. A whole month already, can you believe it? I can't. I'm adjusting. I'm OK.


I'm OK with spending time catching up on TV shows
 I'm OK with having a super busy schedule that is girls only
  I'm OK with cooking for one. Memphis prepared me well for this challenge.
   I'm OK knowing that I don't have to be someone's mother.
    I'm OK remembering that just me wasn't always enough. No girl should have to deal with that.
     I'm OK hoping that there are more driven and reliable people out there
      I'm OK sleeping by myself each night.
       I'm OK knowing that he's planning to date and I'm not. Not a surprise, it's his M.O.
        I'm OK doing things on my own.
         I'm OK knowing that if I never get married, I'll never get divorced! :)
          I'm OK with building an awkward friendship. For now.
           I'm OK without a morning text message, and I'm not expecting it anymore.

I'm OK. At least, I'm getting there. (I think.) (It helps to remind yourself in a high profile way.) (And you KNOW this blog is high profile...)

It's OK. So say Amber and Neely.

It's OK...

...that I skipped Zumba last night because it was to hang out with a couple girls I haven't seen in awhile.

...to omit pantyhose with a skirt to work. And "forget" to shave your legs. I mean, sitting at a desk all day no one will notice. Probably.

...to wear lipstick even if it makes you look like a four-year-old in Mom's makeup case. As long as it makes you feel pretty.

...to be sad that autumn is mostly here because it means the end of summer and beginning of winter. Winter is the yuck.

...to watch the whole season of Bachelor Pad on Hulu and yell at the screen. Some things just need to be said. Out loud, with feeling.

...to decide your new life path is to become a farmer so that you can grow your own food and have the time to tend it.

...to hug people who don't want to be hugged if YOU need a hug.

...to sleep on the couch sometimes, because it makes you feel more cozy.

Alright. That's it. Those are the only things that are OK. Check with me prior to the assumption that other things might also be OK.
