This was the day of funny conversations. I have two very amusing friends who say the most random things, but very sincerely. Today I have laughed a lot with my coworkers which is great because my time with them is slowly dwindling away. It is weird that I am beginning to feel the pangs of loss while I am still with them. I think it is because I am very aware that my tenure there is coming to an end. God must have known that if I wasn’t laughing I would be crying, because not only am I saddened at the thought of leaving, but the day was just one crisis after another. At one point I checked the almanac to make sure it wasn’t a full moon (it wasn’t). The laughing started early. My coworker and pharmacy tech extraordinaire Karla came up to me inquiring about whether or not I had, had breakfast:

 

Karla: Today is national donut day. So I went to Dunkin Donuts.

Me: Oh really?

Karla: I bought a Boston Market, do you want it?

Me: ??? You bought a Boston Market?!

Karla: Yes, would you like it?

Me: ???? A  B O S T O N  M A R K E T?

Karla: Uh-huh. Would you like it? (she’s looking at me like…why do you keep asking 🙂 )

Me: Wait. Do you mean Boston cream?

Karla: Uhmm, that’s what I said.

A little later as my friends and I are walking to lunch Christina (who is normally involved in my best convo of the day posts… on FB). Made the journey to the cafeteria memorable with this sudden outburst:

Christina: How much peanut butter are you allowed to own? (She asks staring at me).

Me: (blinking) Huh? Uhmm, Stacy I am going let you answer that. Peanut butter is dietary and you’re a dietitian.

Stacy: You mean like, personally, like how much can you have in your house?

Christina: Yes, how much can you own?

Stacy: As much as you want!

Christina: Good ’cause they’re buy one get one free and they only have that sale like once a month.

Yup, laughter has been the theme of the day. It has blessed my soul and reminded that God loves to hear His children laugh. He provides these moments of joy to remind us that the world was intended to be beautiful, intended to be happy, it was sin that broke it down. But nevertheless God is still in the business of bringing us joy.

“Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them'” (Palms 126:2).

So what’s my plan? Laughter.
