Now that I’ve found my missing book, everything’s hunky-dory again.

being satisfactory or in satisfactory condition; "an all-right movie"; "the passengers were shaken up but are all right"; "is everything all right?"; "everything's fine"; "things are okay"; "dinner and the movies had been fine"; "another minute I'd have been fine"
if a situation is hunky-dory, everyone feels happy and there are no problems = OK (hunky (19-20 centuries) (from hunk (1800-1900), from hunk (1800-1900), from honk) + dory (of unknown origin))
