> KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.....PLEASE READ!
> 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 garage (and that needs cleaning),
> 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 waste basket under the table,
> And notice that the basket is full.
>
> So, I decide to put the bills back
> On 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 cheques 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 cheques,
> 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 fridge 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 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 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 darn 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..
>
> Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming
