I have recently been diagnosed with AAADD - Age Activated Attention Deficit
Disorder.

 This is how it goes... I decide to do work on the car,

 start to the garage and notice the mail on the table. OK, I'm ! going to
work on the car...

 BUT FIRST I'm going to go through the mail. Lay car keys down on desk.

 After discarding the junk mail, I notice the trash can is full.

 OK, I'll just put the bills on my desk.... BUT FIRST I'll take the trash
out,

 but since I'm going to be near the mailbox, I'll address a few bills....

 Yes, Now where is the checkbook? Oops.. there's only one check left.

 Where did I put the extra checks? Oh, there is my empty plastic cup from
last night on my
 desk.

 I'm going to look for those checks... BUT FIRST I need to put the cup back
in the
 kitchen.

 I head for the kitchen, look out the window, notice the flowers need a
drink of water,

 I put the cup on the counter and there's my extra pair of glasses on the
kitchen counter.

 What are they doing here? I'll just put them away... BUT FIRST need to
water those plants.

 I head for the door and... Aaaagh! someone left the TV remote on the wrong
spot.

 Okay, I'll put the remote away and water the plants... BUT FIRST I need to
find those checks.

 END OF DAY:
 Oil in car not changed,
 bills still unpaid,
 cup still in the sink,
 checkbook still has only one check left,
 lost my car keys,
 And,
 when I try to figure ! out how come nothing got done today,
 I'm baffled because...
 I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY!

I realize this condition is serious... I'd get help... BUT FIRST...I think
I'll check my e-mail.
