When is the last time something really made you laugh? Tell us about it.

That's a great question, and my very sad answer is "I don't know." I can't remember. I watched four movies over the weekend that were supposed to be good, and they were all so fucking nihilists I felt worse after. I love my husband but he's a complete introvert, can go days without talking to me. I recently ran workshops for first responders, to help them manage their trauma, and that was so sad I cried afterwards. We celebrated my daughter's graduation from nursing school last weekend, and that was fun, but we didn't laugh. The nursing home called to tell me my mother had an abscess on her anus, and that was "funny" in a sick sort of way, just the alliteration and sound of it. But I know it's very painful, so I didn't laugh. This question has made me realize, I need to reconnect with my funny friends and do some laughing! OMG. I had no idea I hadn't laughed in so long.
