AAADD… Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder…

A.A.A.D.D.

KNOW THE SYMPTOMS!! …PLEASE READ!

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 can of Pepsi I’d been drinking.

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

The Pepsi is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye…

They need water…

I put the Pepsi 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 Pepsi 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 damn 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…
Let Me Know If I’ve Posted This Before…

Because I damn sure don’t remember!

Don’t laugh… If this isn’t you yet… Your day is coming!!
