I just wanted to let you know that I have
recently been diagnosed with AAADD -
Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it goes...
|
|
|
I decided to do the laundry, start
down the hall and notice the newspaper
on the table. OK, I'm going to do
the laundry...
|
|
|
|
BUT FIRST I'm going to read the newspaper. After that, I notice
the mail on the table. OK, I'll just put the newspaper in the
recycle stack...
|
|
|
BUT FIRST I'll look through the pile of mail and see if there are
any bills to be paid. Yes. Now where is the checkbook? Oops...
there's the empty glass from yesterday on the coffee table.
I'm going to look for that checkbook...
|
|
|
|
BUT FIRST I need to put the glass in the sink. I head for the
kitchen, look out the window, notice my poor flowers need a drink
of water, I put the glass in the sink and there's the remote for
the TV on the kitchen counter. What's it doing here? I'll just
put it away...
|
|
|
|
BUT FIRST I need to water those plants.
I head for the door and...Aaaagh!!...
stepped on the cat. Cat needs to be fed.
Okay, I'll put the remote away and
water the plants...
|
|
|
BUT FIRST I need to feed the cat.
|
|
|
END OF DAY: Laundry is not done, newspapers are still on the floor,
glass is still in the sink, bills are not paid, checkbook is still lost,
and the cat ate the remote control...and, when I try to figure out
how come nothing got done today, I'm baffled because...
I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY!
I realize this condition is serious...I'd get help...
|
|
|
|
BUT FIRST...I think
I'll check my e-mail...
