I used to be the absolute worst ever at describing every emotion. One of the many reasons my word count was so big.
Now, I think it's became, for me, like Ester and her adverbs. No offense Ester! Because I agree; however, the occasional adverb or emotional description can add zing or depth. Like that chuckle- chuckle usually means amused, but amusement may not come from what the reader thinks. In your case it was- oh, if you only knew how I'm about to bite your head off.
