AAADD- KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.....PLEASE READ!
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. -
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests:
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 start toward the garage,I notice mail on the porch table that I brought
up from the mail 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 garbage can under the table,and notice that the can
is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage
first.
But then I think,since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the
garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.I take my check book off the table,and see
that there is only one check left.
My extra checks 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 checks,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 refrigerator to keep
it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke,a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye--they need water.
I put the Coke on the counter 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 counter,fill a container with water and
suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.
I realize 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 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 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 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,I'm really baffled
because I know I was busy all damn day,
and I'm really tired.
I realize 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 hell I've sent it to.
Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!
