This came to me from a retired friend living in Florida, thought I would
share.  "FT"



     I know this doesn't describe your condition, but mine?????????
         AAADD

     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. What are they doing here?
     I'll just put them away . . .

     BUT FIRST need to water those plants. I head for the door and .
     . .Aaaagh! Someone left the TV remote on the wrong spot. Okay,
     I'll put the remote away and water the plants on my balcony . . .

     BUT FIRST I need to find those checks.

     END OF DAY: The patio has not been cleaned, bills still unpaid,
     cup still on the counter, checkbook still has only one check left,
     lost my car keys . . .

     And, when I try to figure out how come nothing got done today,
     I'm baffled because . . .

     I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY! I realize this condition is
     serious . . . I'd get help . . .

     BUT FIRST . . . I think I'll check my e-mail.
