Better to Laugh

I went to get my blood drawn, but they didn’t have the correct nurse on hand because of a paperwork mixup, so I have to go back in the morning. I called the insurance company to make sure some of the lab work would be covered, but the codes did not match theirs. I called the doctor’s nurse, but it went to voicemail. I went to Verizon to get a new phone, but I had the wrong renewal date and will have to wait until May. I went from there to Walmart and bought Popcorn Indiana Kettle Corn and Lay’s potato chips.

As I ate out of the bags on the way home, I thought, “Am I eating my emotions?” The answer was a sarcastic, “Yes.” “What emotions are you having?” “I am tired and really pissed off.” Then I remembered that kettle corn had sugar in it. I snapped out of my funk and realized that life could be so much worse. I shut the bags, drove home without eating anymore, and ran three miles around the neighborhood, which nearly made me throw up. Next time, I will try running three miles first; that should take care of my emotions.
