    AAADD - 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, 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 Coke I'd 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.

    The Coke is getting warm, and I decide to 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 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 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 Coke 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 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!!

    SWMBO has a full blown case of this terrible disorder.

    I think I have this. 'cept I reckon its caused, at least partially by THE OTHER PERSON IN THE HOUSE. Ha recons he is very focused , but takes all day to do one thing. Leaving all the other things to me. Slight modification to the story though. I know where MY keys are AND HIS keys.
