How I killed another Day !!

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

I decide to wash my car. As I start toward 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, I will
be looking for the remote, but I won't 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.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!
