A.A.A.D.D.

They have finally found a diagnosis for my condition.
Hooray!! I have recently been diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D.!
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it goes:
I decide to wash the car. I start toward the garage and I
notice the mail on the table. Ok, I'm going to wash the
car, but first I'm going to go through the mail.

I lay the car keys down on the desk, discard the junk mail
and I notice the trash can is full. Ok, I'll just put the
bills on my desk and take the trash can out. But since I'm
going to be near the mailbox anyway, I'll pay these few
bills first.

Now, where is my checkbook? Oops, there's only one check
left. My extra checks are in my desk. Oh, there's the coke
I was drinking. I'm going to look for those checks. But
first I need to put my coke further away from the
computer. Oh, maybe I'll pop it into the fridge to keep it
cold for a while.

I head towards the kitchen and my flowers catch my eye;
they need some water. I set the coke on the counter and uh
oh! There are my glasses. I was looking for them all
morning! I'd better put them away first.

I fill a container with water and head for the flower pots
-- Aaaaaagh! Someone left the TV remote in the kitchen.
We'll never think to look in the kitchen tonight when we
want to watch television so I'd better put it back in the
family room where it belongs.

I splash some water into the pots and onto the floor, I
throw the remote onto a soft cushion on the sofa and I
head back down the hall trying to figure out what it was I
was going to do?

End of Day:
The car isn't washed, the bills are unpaid, the coke is
sitting on the kitchen counter, the flowers are half
watered, the checkbook still only has one check in it and
I can't seem to find my car keys! When I try to figure out
how come nothing got done today, I'm baffled because I
KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY LONG!!!

I realise this is a serious condition and I'll get help,
BUT FIRST I have to read the rest of the messages on Senior Moments...
