Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit
Disorder. This is how it manifests itself: I'll bet I am not alone, you all
need to be checked.
 
 I decided to wash my car. As I start toward to the garage, I notice that
there is mail on the hall table. I decide to go through the mail before I
wash the car. 
 
 I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash can
under the table, and notice that the trash can is full. So, I decide to put
the bills back on the table and take out the trash first but then I think,
since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash anyway, I
may as well pay the bills first. I take my checkbook off the table, and see
that there is only one check left.  My extra checks are in my desk in the
study, so I go to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been
drinking. I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke
aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I see that the Coke is
getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it
cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke a vase of flowers on the
counter catches my eye--they need to be watered. I set the Coke down on the
counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all
morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to
water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a
container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote.  Someone left it on
the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, we will be
looking for the remote, but nobody will remember that it's on the kitchen
table. So I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first
I'll water the flowers.  I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it
spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some
towels and wipe up the spill. Then I head down the hall trying to remember
what I was planning to do. At the end of the day:

 the car isn't washed
 the bills aren't paid
 there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter
 the flowers aren't watered
 there is still only one check in my checkbook
 I can't find the remote
 I can't find my glasses
 and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really
baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired.
I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for
it, but first I'll check my e-mail.
 
If you can remember, you might want to forward this message to close friends 
you know, because I don't remember to whom it has been sent. 
 
Don't laugh - if this isn't you yet, your day is coming! And if I have sent
this to you before....well, now you know why you're getting it again.
