Some weird side effects of having a cold

One thing that ive noticed while living with this cold over the last week, is that I cough a LOT!
I have been coughing so much in fact, that my stomach area hurts all the time! I have been getting a serious workout with this cough, if this keeps up, ill be having rock hard tastey abs washerboard style.

Me in 2 weeks

anyways I hope i get over this before my birthday, because that would be a big bummer to be sick then.
