Does this apply to you..?

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

This is how the symptoms present themselves.

I decide to wash my car.As I start toward the garage, I notice there is post on the hall table. I decide to go through the post before I wash the car. In amongst the junk mail I see there are bills to be paid.

I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the rubbish bin under the table, and notice the rubbish bin is full. So, I decide to put the bills to one side and take the rubbish out first.

But then I think, since I’m going near a post box when I take out the rubbish, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my chequebook off the table, and see there is only one cheque left. My new chequebook is in my desk in the study, so I go to my desk where I find the can of Coke I had been drinking.

I’m going to look for my chequebook, 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 decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head towards the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the shelf catches my eye – they need to be watered. I set the Coke down and discover my reading glasses I’ve been searching for all morning.

I decide I’d better put them back on my desk, but first I am going to water the flowers.

I put the glasses down, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realise 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 room where it belongs, but I’ll water the flowers first.

I try to run some water into the flowers, but it spills off the leaves and onto the floor. So, I put the remote back down on the kitchen table and get a cloth to wipe up the water. 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 a shelf, the flowers aren’t watered, there is still only one cheque in my cheque 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 work 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 realise this is a serious problem, and I’ll try to get some help for it, but first I’ll do my e-mail.

Do me a favour will you? Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don’t remember who else I’ve sent it to and I can’t find the folder I filed him or her in.

I think that was pretty good, but I got distracted before I finished reading.
