Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder..
Somehow I feel better even though I have it!!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D</span>... Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder..

This is how it manifests:

<span style="font-weight: bold">I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,</span>
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.. 

<span style="font-weight: bold">As I start toward the garage,</span>
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.

<span style="font-weight: bold">I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.</span>

<span style="font-weight: bold">I lay my car keys on the table,</span>
put the junk mail in the garbage
can under the table,
and notice that the can is full.

<span style="font-weight: bold">So, I decide to put the bills back</span> 
on the table and take out the garbage first.

<span style="font-weight: bold">But then I think,</span>
since I'm going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.

<span style="font-weight: bold">I take my check book off the table,</span>
and see that there is only one check left. 
<span style="font-weight: bold">My extra checks are in my desk in the study,</span> 
so I go   inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking.

<span style="font-weight: bold">I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Pepsi aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Pepsi is getting warm, and 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.</span>

<span style="font-weight: bold">I put the Pepsi on the counter</span> 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.

<span style="font-weight: bold">I set the glasses back down on the counter,</span> 
fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.

<span style="font-weight: bold">I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,</span>
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 in the den where
it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

<span style="font-weight: bold">I pour some water in the flowers,</span>
but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

<span style="font-weight: bold">So, I set the remote back on the table,</span>
get some towels and wipe up the spill.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Then, I head down the hall</span>
trying to remember   what I was planning to do.

<span style="font-weight: bold">At the end of the day:
the car isn't washed
the bills aren't paid
there is a warm can of Pepsi
sitting on the counter-
the flowers don't have enough water,
there is still only 1 check in my check 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,</span>
I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day, and I'm really tired.

I think those of us without a Y chromosome would name this something different:

BM Syndrome. (B-eing M-ale)
