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 shed for the hose pipe etc, I notice letters in the mail box. 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 little recycle bin under the table, And notice that the bin is full so need to take it out to the green recycle box. So, I decide to put the bills backOn the table and take out the rubbish first. But then I think,Since I'm going to be near the mailbox 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 one cheque left. My extra cheque's are in my desk in the lounge,So I go inside the house to the desk where I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking. I'm going to look for my cheque,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 andDiscover 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 I 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 toRemember 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 cheque in my cheque 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 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 favor. Forward this message to everyone you know, Because I don't remember who I've sent it to. Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!! Awards
