Oh sure you're not contagious

Without my mom & her laryngitis last week, we wouldn't have been able to see Tori Amos.

Somehow that doesn't make waking up at 4am with a searing hot poker being rammed down your esophagus & generally feeling like crap any more cheery though.

My husband thinks I'm on crack because I'm working & going to class tonight anyway.

There is much truth in the statement that the Taurus/Ox will continue working until she keels over dead.
