*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 & 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 Pepsi I'd been drinking.
*I'm going to look for my checks, *
but first I need to push the Pepsi aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over.
The Pepsi is getting warm .
* 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 the Pepsi 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 had 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
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 _*
*_Pepsi 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, *
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 favor. *
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!!*
