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 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 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,

and 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 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

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 today,

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. And keep in

mind



that I was doing something else before I sent this and can't remember

what it was!





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