The Common Cold

Ever wonder why it's called the common cold? As I lay on my bed, sniffling while my husband is clickity clacking on the keyboard beside me, I find myself in a state of uncommon annoyance. I'm congested. If I sit up and bend my head forward, my nose begins to run. I'm flushed and it is definitely unbecoming. More blotchy than flushed. I am tired of sleeping. Reading makes my head hurt. TV makes my eyes hurt. Cant eat as I don't have taste buds. My only entertainment, currently my husband, is ignoring me. It has no right being called the Common Cold. It's uncommon, debilitating and annoying. I sincerely protest! I'm sick and I hate it!
