Do You Know this Person?

DO YOU KNOW THIS PERSON?

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 dang 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 Hades I've sent it to.

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

Please don't be upset if I post this again as I will probably forget that I posted it in the first place!

Love to all us AAADD'S,

Sara

Hi Sara,
I just read this and yes I believe I do know this person very well. It's just
a matter of trying to get everything done at once. We can recover.
Lots of fun reading.
Thanks - I'm still smiling/laughing.
