    Recently, I was diagnosed with :
    A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

    This is how it manifests:

    I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the table that I collected from the letter box earlier. I decide to go through the mail before I
    wash the car. I lay my car keys on the table, Put the junk mail in the rubbish bin under the table, and notice that it is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the
    rubbish first. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the post-box when I take out the rubbish 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 I'd 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. The Coke is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the fridge to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the worktop catches my eye they need water. I put the Coke on the worktop and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I decide I better putthem back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers. I set the
    glasses back down on the worktop, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote control. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realise that tonight when we watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote control, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the living room 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 control back 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.

    At the end of the day:
    - the car isn't washed
    - the bills aren't paid
    - there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the worktop
    - the flowers don't have enough water
    - there is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book
    - I can't find the remote control
    - 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, and I'm really tired. I realise this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.

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

    Don't worry dendy, when you get to our age you won't remember what it is like to remember things :D and you'll potter around all day quite happily.

    I'm pleased it gets dark at night otherwise I wouldn't know it was time to go to bed :eek: :D .

    Good night [​IMG]
