I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose, I look over at
my car and decide it needs washing.
As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the table that I
collected from the letter box 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 rubbish
bin under the table, and notice that it is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the
rubbish first.
But then I think, since I'm going to be near the post-box when I
take out the rubbish anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my cheque book off the table, and see that there is only 1
cheque left. My extra cheques are in my desk in the study, so I go inside
the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.
I'm going to look for my cheques, but first I need to push the Coke
aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. The Coke is getting warm,
and I decide to put it in the fridge to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on
the worktop catches my eye -- they need water.
I put the Coke 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 set 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 watch TV, I'll be
looking for the remote control,
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. I
pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.
So, I set the remote control 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 warm can of Coke sitting on the worktop
- the flowers don't have enough water
- there is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book
- I can't find the remote control
- 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 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 don't remember who the heck I've sent it to.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!
