Recently, I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to wash my car.

As I start toward 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 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 see that 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. set the glasses back down on the counter,

fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote.



Someone left it o n the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we 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 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 Coke 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! e 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 to whom it has been sent.





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