AAADD

KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.....

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 ActivatedAttention 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 backon 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 ofPepsi I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks，but first I need to push thePepsi asideso that I don't accidentally knock it over..

ThePepsi 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 thePepsi 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 firstI'll waterthe flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers，but quite a bit of it spills on to 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 toremember 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 ofPepsi 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 favour
Forward this message to everyone you know，
because I don't remember who the hell I've sent it to.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet， your day is coming!!
