Today was a little more stressful than typical. Just before I was thinking about a couple of funny occurrences a number of years ago, then started laughing even though I'm alone at home. Is that bad?

Nah, IMHO you're actually blessed to be able to keep a sense of humor and still have an appreciation for the 'irony' of it all, even despite the stress. And certainly far better to 'burst out laughing', than alotta the 'alternatives'!
The laughter wasn't in response to seeing something on TV or reading something funny.
In your own home you can laugh for any reason you find funny, even to the sound of your farts. Who is going to judge you? Or why would you even think that's something bad?

I thought it may be a sign of less than optimum psychological health, like a person talking himself (I never do that). Hence, my question in the psychology part of CD.
Well, talking to self and laughing to your thoughts might look odd if you are alone in public, and could be associated with paradoxical laughter. Closely linked to it is inappropriate affect - when someone laugh at funerals, when told sad news or during other situations when joy and laughing is considered inappropriate.
But there is nothing wrong with laughing to your own joyful thoughts, when you are private and alone as long as you are able to control yourself in public.
Of course not! I laugh at many things including myself. In fact, laughing right now reading this thread! Someone here seems wound a bit tight.
Yeah, I talk to myself too, usually when trying to work out a solution to a problem or trying to jog my memory. At least its not a two way conversation...

What on earth would be "bad" about laughing to yourself about a funny memory? It's perfectly normal.
