Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder..........

These are the symptoms:

I decide to wash the car; I head towards the garage but spot the mail on the table. OK, I'm going to wash the car. But first I better go through the mail. I put the car keys down on the desk, discard the junk mail and I notice the garbage tin is full. OK, I'll just put the accounts on the desk and take the garbage out, but since I'm going to be near the letterbox anyway, I'll pay these few accounts first. Now, where is my cheque book? Blast, there's only one cheque left! My extra cheques are in my desk. Oh, there's the Coke I was drinking. I'm going to look for those cheques. But first I need to put my Coke further away from the computer, or maybe I'll pop it into the fridge to keep it cold for a while. I head off towards the kitchen and my flowers catch my eye, they need some water. I put the Coke on the counter and there are my glasses. I was looking for them all morning! I'd better put them away first. I fill container with water and head for the flower pots. Someone left the TV remote in the kitchen. We will never think to look in the kitchen tonight when we want to watch television so I'd better put it back in the family room where it belongs. I splash some water into the pots and onto the floor, I throw the remote back onto a soft cushion on the sofa and I head back down the hall trying to figure out what it was I was going to do.

END OF THE DAY:
The car isn't washed, the accounts are unpaid, the Coke is sitting on the kitchen counter, the flowers are half watered, the cheque book still only has one cheque in it and I can't seem to find my car keys. When I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm baffled because I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY LONG!

I realize this is a serious condition and I'll get help, but first I'll check my e-mail.
