WEATHER: Sunny. High 53° today. Warmer Friday and Saturday with a chance of rain in the afternoon and it to Sunday. COMMENTARY: A.A.A.D.D.-! (Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder). This is how it manifests: I decide to give the dogs some fresh water. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mailbox 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 garbage can under the table, And notice that the can is full. (Right about now you are smiling) So, I decide to put the bills back On the table and take out the garbage first... But then I think, since Im going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well 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, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Pepsi Id been drinking. Im going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Pepsi aside so that I dont accidentally knock it over. The Pepsi is getting warm, so I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need water. I put the Pepsi on the counter and discover my glasses that Ive been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first Im going to water the flowers. (right about now you are laughing out loud) I set the glasses back down 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 the Voice, Ill be looking for the remote, but I wont remember that its on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first Ill water the flowers. I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. (Right about now you are wiping away tears) So, I set the remote 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 isnt washed, The bills arent paid, There is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter, The flowers dont have enough water, There is still only 1 check in my checkbook, I cant find the remote, I cant find my glasses, And I dont remember what I did with the car keys. Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, Im really baffled because I know I was busy all day, and Im really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and Ill try to get some help for it, but first I got to post the weather....
