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.
So 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 Pepsi I'd been drinking
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.
I put the Pepsi on the counter and
discover my reading glas ses 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 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, 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...
Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!
