A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder

[PureCajunSunshine]

Do you have A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder? You might, if the following can be said of your typical day.

 

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 [censored] 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...
