A.A.A.D.D.

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age
Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how
it manifests itself:
I decided to wash my car. As I start toward to
the garage, I notice that there is mail on the
hall table. 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 trash 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 checkbook 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
to my desk where I find the can of soda that I
had been drinking.
I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need
to push the soda aside so that I don't
accidentally knock it over.
I see that the soda 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 soda, a
vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye
they need to be watered.
I set the soda 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, we will be
looking for the remote, but nobody will 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 splash some water on the flowers, but most 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 soda
sitting on the counter, the flowers aren't
watered, there is still only one check in my
checkbook, 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! And if I have told this to you
before....well, now you know why you're being
told again.
