Oh, enough already...

Dear Head Cold that Ate the East Kingdom,

I am certain that you are having splendid amounts of fun hanging out in my sinuses and throat, but it is time for you to go. I am going to Montreal this weekend. I have three other people depending on me to get to the event on Saturday, and I intend to follow through with that. With vocal cords intact and in full working order, thanks very much.

You've stayed your hour. Leave me alone now.
