Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention
Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests:



I decided to wash my car.



As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the hall
table.



I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.



I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash can
under the table, and notice that the trash
can is full.



So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the trash
first.



But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take
out the trash anyway, I may as well pay the
bills first.



I take my checkbook 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 to my desk where I
find the bottle of soda that I had been
drinking.



I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the soda
aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.



I see that the soda is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in
the refrigerator to keep it cold.



As I head toward the kitchen with the soda, a vase of flowers on the
counter catches my eye--they need to be
watered.



I set the soda down on the counter, and I 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 I spot the TV remote.



Someone left it on the kitchen table.



I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, we will be looking for
the remote, but nobody will 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 splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor.



So, I set the remote back down 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 bottle of soda 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.



Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really
baffled because I know I was busy all day
long, 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.

 

Oh my God!! I've got a.a.a.d.d. too!!!

 

 

 

I do that kind of stuff all the time!!!

 

That describes me to a T ~
