This is an email sent to me by a friend, she's 51.
A.A.A.D.D. Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests itself: I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the drive,
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 letterbox 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 I notice that the bin 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 letterbox
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 one 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 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 room 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 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 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 favour.
Forward this message to everyone you know,
because I won't remember who the hell I've sent it to. Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!
