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 my car needs washing.
As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is 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 down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash 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 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 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 that I had 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.
I see that the Coke 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 Coke a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye they need to be watered.
I set the Coke 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, I will 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 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 can of Coke sitting on the counter,
the flowers don't have enough water,
there is still only one 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 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.

Don't laugh if this isn't You yet


YOUR DAY IS COMING!!!

that is soooo true and i've done that myself at times.
