I just wanted to let you know that I have recently been
diagnosed with AAADD Age-Activated Attention Deficit
Disorder. This is how it goes...

I decide to take a break from copy work and do the laundry.
I start down the hall and notice the newspaper on the kitchen table.
OK,
I'm
going to do the laundry...BUT FIRST I'm going to read the newspaper.
After that, I notice the mail on the counter top.

OK, I'll just put the newspaper in the recycle stack....
BUT FIRST I'll look through the pile of mail and see if
there are any bills to be paid. Yes. Now where is the
checkbook? Oops.. there's the empty glass from yesterday
on the coffee table. I'm going to look for that checkbook
...BUT FIRST I need to put the glass in the sink.

I head for the kitchen, look out the door, notice my
poor flowers need a drink of water, I put the glass in
the sink and there's the remote for the TV on the kitchen
counter. What's it doing here? I'll just put it away...
BUT FIRST need to water those plants.

I head for the door and...Aaaagh! stepped on the cat.
Cat needs to be fed. Okay, I'll put the remote away and
water the plants...BUT FIRST I need to feed the cat.

END OF DAY: Laundry is not done, newspapers are still on
the floor, glass is still in the sink, bills are not paid,
checkbook is still lost, and the cat ate the remote control
...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.
