A. A. A. D. D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit

Disorder

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 mailbox 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 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 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

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

Realize 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 I 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 driveway is flooded, the car

Isn't washed, the bills aren't paid, there is a warm can of Coke sitting

On the counter, 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.

Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message to

Everyone you know, because I don't remember who I have sent it to.

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

Coming!

I'm getting so bad, sometimes I can't finish a sentence because I've already forgotten what I wanted to say by the time I get to the end of the sentence... seriously!!!

I also forget people's names and places all the time lately!!!

It's definitely AAADD!!!!

I can write my own every day version.

For as long as I can remember, I have been like this.

It all gets done, it just takes a while.

Hey, I work with it!
