Recently, I was diagnosed with AAADD:  Age Activated Attention Deficit
Disorder.
This is how it manifests:

I  decided to wash my car.
As I start toward the garage, I spotted the mail on  the hall table.

I should go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay the car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the trash can under
the table, and notice that the trash can is full.

So, I put the bills back on the table and take out the trash first.

Since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash anyway,
I might as well pay the bills first.

I see my checkbook on the table, but 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 bottle of juice that I had been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the juice aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

But the juice is getting warm, and should be put in the refrigerator to
keep it cold.

Heading toward the kitchen with the juice, a vase of flowers on the
counter catches my eye.
They need to be watered.

I set the juice down on the  counter, and find my reading glasses, for
which I've been searching all morning.

I had 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 spot the TV remote.

Someone left it on the kitchen table.
Tonight when we sit down to  watch TV, we will be looking for the remote,
but nobody will remember that it's on the kitchen table.  I should 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 put the remote back down on the table, and get some towels to 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 bottle of
juice 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.

I'm trying to figure out why nothing got done today;
it's quite baffling because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm
really tired.

I know this is a serious problem, and I'll  try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check my e-mail.

Do me a  favor, will you?

Forward this message to whoever you think might enjoy it, because I don't
remember who I've already sent it to.
