------------------------------------------------
I have recently been diagnosed with AAADD - Age Activated Attention 
Deficit Disorder This is how it goes . . .  

I decide to clean off the front patio. I start to the patio and 
notice mail on the desk that needs to be taken down to the Post 
Office. OK, I'm going to the Post Office . . .  

BUT FIRST I'm going to go through the mail that was delivered. I lay 
the 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 coffee 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 start to head 
for the kitchen and look out at my balcony, notice the flowers need a 
drink of water because of the extreme heat. 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 on my balcony . . 
. 

BUT FIRST I need to find those checks. 

END OF DAY: The patio has not been cleaned, bills still unpaid, cup
still on the counter, 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.
