I have recently been diagnosed with AAADD - Age
Activated Attention Deficit Disorder
> This is how it goes . . .

> I decide to clean off the front patio.
> I start to the patio and notice mail on the desk that
needs to be taken down to the Post Office.
> OK, I'm going to the Post Office . . .
>
> BUT FIRST I'm going to go through the mail that was
delivered.
> I lay the car keys down on desk.
> After discarding the junk mail, I notice the trash can is
full. OK, I'll just put the bills on my desk . . .
>
> BUT FIRST I'll take the trash out.
> But since I'm going to be near the mailbox, I'll address a
few bills . .
>
> Yes, Now where is the checkbook?
> Oops.. there's only one check left. Where did I put the
extra checks?
> Oh, there is my empty coffee cup from last night on my
desk.
> I'm going to look for those checks . . .
>
> BUT FIRST I need to put the cup back in the kitchen.
> I start to head for the kitchen and look out at my
balcony, notice the flowers need a drink of water because
of the extreme heat. I put the cup on the counter and
there's my extra pair of glasses on the kitchen counter.
