A. A. A. D. D.

Does this apply to you???
 
Recently, I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
 
This is how it manifests itself:
 
I decide to water my garden.
 
As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my car needs washing.
 
As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier.
 
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 rubbish bin under the table, and notice that the bin is full.
 
So, I put the bills back on the table and decide to take out the rubbish first.
 
But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.
 
I take my cheque book off the table, and see that there is only one cheque left.  My extra cheques are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of coke that I had been drinking.
 
I'm going to look for my cheques, 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 place the coke down on the work surface, 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 work top, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote.  Someone has 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 lounge where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.
 
I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit 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.
