Watch out for A.A.A.D.D. It's worse then ADHD

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 cup of
coffee I'd been drinking.

I'm
going to look for my checks,

but first I need to
push the coffee aside so that I don't accidentally knock it
over.

The
coffee is getting cold,
and I decide to
put it in the microwave to reheat it.

As I head toward the kitchen with the
coffee,
a vase of
flowers on the counter catches
my eye--they need water.

I
put the coffee 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 cold cup of coffee 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 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 the heck I've sent it
to. Also send it back to me, I don't

know if I've recived it yet.
Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet,
your day is coming!!
