DID I JUST START THIS TOPIC?

For those of you that don't get this yet, you will, your day is coming !

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, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

 

As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the table that I collected from the letter 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 rubbish bin under the table, and notice that it is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the rubbish first. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the post-box when I take out the rubbish anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

 

I take my cheque book off the table, and see that there is only 1 cheque left. My extra cheques 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 cheques, 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 fridge to keep it cold.

 

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the worktop catches my eye they need water.

 

I put the Coke on the worktop 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 worktop, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote control.

 

Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realise that tonight when we watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote control, 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 control 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 worktop,- the flowers don't have enough water,- there is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book, - I can't find the remote control,- 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 realise 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 favour. 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!!

 

GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY.

 

GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.

 

LAUGHING AT YOURSELF IS THERAPEUTIC
