I decided to wash my car.  As I started toward the garage, I spotted the mail on the hall table.  I should go through the mail before I wash the car.  So I lay the car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the trash can under the table, and notice that the trash can is full.  So, I put the bills back on the table to take out the trash first.  But, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash anyway, I think I should pay the bills first.  I see my checkbook on the table, but there is only one check left.  My extra checks are on my desk in the study, so I go to my desk, where I find the bottle of juice that I had been drinking.  I'm still looking for my checks, but first I need to push the juice aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.  But, the juice is getting warm, and should be put in the refrigerator to be chilled.

Heading toward the kitchen with the juice, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye.  They need to be watered.  I set the juice down on the counter, and discover my reading glasses, which I've been searching for all morning.  I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.  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.  Tonight when we sit down to watch TV, we will be looking for the remote, but nobody will remember it's on the kitchen table.  I should put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.  I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor.  So, I put the remote back down on the table, and go to get some towels to wipe up the spill.

I noticed that the towels were not in the linen cabinet, so I went to the laundry room.  On my way I nearly stepped on the cat who was looking for something to eat, so I went back to the kitchen for cat food.  Half way down the hall I heard the phone, so I rushed to the living room only to answer a salesperson selling timeshares.  After hanging up I headed down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do and wondering why the cat was following me.

At the end of the day: the car isn't washed, the bills aren't paid, there is a warm bottle of juice sitting on the counter, the flowers aren't watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook, I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.  I'm trying to figure out why nothing got done today; it's quite baffling because I know I was busy all day long, I don't have a cat, and I'm really tired.

I know 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 favor, will you?   Forward this message to whoever you think might enjoy it, because I don't remember who I've already sent it to.
