I have recently been diagnosed...

I'm writing you to let you know that I have recently been diagnosed
>with a very serious condition and there's no hope I will ever get over it.
>It is referred to as the "Butfirst Syndrome." You may have it also, check
>the symptoms. It may be hereditary as well. This is an ailment many of us
>suffer from and may not as yet have been diagnosed.
>
>However, now you may be able to discuss it with your loved ones and
>try to explain what really happened to you all those times you tried so hard
>to accomplish something and didn't.
>
>It's like when I decide to do the laundry - I start down the hall and notice
>the newspaper on the table. Okay, I'm going to do the laundry - Butfirst
>I'm going to read the newspaper. Then I notice the mail on the table.
>Okay, I'll just put the newspaper in the recycle stack, Butfirst I'll look
>through that pile of mail and see if there are any bills to be paid. Now
>where's the checkbook? Oops! There's the empty glass from yesterday
>on the coffee table.
>
>I'm going to look for that checkbook, Butfirst I need to put the glass
>in the sink. I head for the kitchen, look out the window notice my poor
>flowers need a drink of water. I put the glass on the sink, and darn it,
>there's the remote for the TV on the kitchen counter. What's it doing here?
>I'll just put it away. Butfirst, I need to water those plants. Head for door
>and Ack! Stepped on the cat. The cat needs to be fed. Okay, I'll put that
>remote away and water the plants. Butfirst I need to feed the cat.
>
>At the end of day ... The laundry isn't done, the newspapers are still on
>the floor, the glass is still not in the sink, the bills are not paid, the
>checkbook
>is still missing, and the cat whizzed on the remote control. AND, when I
>try
>to figure out how come nothing got done all day, I'm baffled, because I
>KNOW I was BUSY ALL DAY!
>
>I realize this condition is serious ... and I should get help ...
>Butfirst I think I'll just check my email...
