I've recently retired and came across this - it's just so true!!! Now I know why I never get round to practising any new songs like I promised I would once retired....

How many times i have said to Karen recently that i seem to be busy all
day doing nothing, this was the explanation.........

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


This is how it manifests itself:

I decide to water my garden.

As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and
decide
it needs washing.

As I head towards the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I
picked up from the postman earlier.

I decide to go through it before I wash the car.

I put my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the recycling
box
under the table, and notice that the recycling box is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the
recycling first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take
out the recycling paper anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my cheque book off the table and notice that there is only one
cheque left.

My extra cheques are in the desk in my study, so I go into the house
to
my desk where
I find the cup of coffee I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my cheques but first I need to push the coffee
aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The coffee is getting cold, and I decide to make another cup..

As I head toward the kitchen with the cold coffee, a vase of flowers
on
the worktop catches my eye - the flowers need water.

I put the coffee on the worktop and 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 put 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 go to watch TV, I'll be looking for
the
remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I
decide to put it back 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 put 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 isn't washed,

The bills aren't paid,

There is a cold cup of coffee sitting on the kitchen work-surface,

The flowers don't have enough water,

There is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book,

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 bloody 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.....

Do me a favour. Forward this message to everyone you know, because I
can't remember who the hell I've sent it to.
