Age On--

When we were young we multitasked, now we multi-muddle. Recently, I was

diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. (Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder). This is

how it manifests: I decided to wash my car. As I start toward the garage, I

notice the mail on the hall table. I decide to go through the mail before I wash

the car. I placed my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the trash can

under the table, and notice that the trash can is full. I decide to put the

bills back on the table and take out the trash first. Then I think, since I'm

going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash, I should 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. 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 and 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 on the counter, fill a container

with water and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen

table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, we will be looking for

the remote, but nobody will 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. I set the

remote back down on the table, get some towels and clean the spill.

I then 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 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. Do me a favor, will you?

Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember to whom it

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