What do I have now?

I am sick. I've been under the weather all weekend. Yesterday I was better than today. Of course I wondered what I had. Is it a cold? Is it allergies? Is it cancer? Why am I coughing so much? — it must be lung cancer — Why am I so congested? — it must be allergies — Why am I sweating? — it must be a flu — why does my chest hurt? — that's it, it's lung cancer! I go to bed and my eyes start watering — is it allergies? oh wait... Aha, I have roses in my apartment. This is new! Maybe I'm allergic to roses? — yes, that must be it — I climb out of bed, grab the roses from the vase, open the window and toss them out. Whew, sigh — I felt better already, I must be allergic to roses, who knew? I woke up this morning with all the same symptoms together: congestion, watery eyes, cough, sweating.  Seems it's just your garden variety common cold...or is it? Stay tuned...
