Recently, I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. – Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. \u00a0This is how it manifests: <\/p>\n
I decided to wash my car. \u00a0\u00a0As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the hall table. I decided to go through the mail before I wash the car. <\/p>\n
I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash can under the table, and notice that the trash can is full. <\/p>\n
So, I decided to put the bills back on the table and take out the trash first. <\/p>\n
But then I think, since I’m going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. <\/p>\n
I take my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only one check left. <\/p>\n
My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. <\/p>\n
As I head toward the kitchen with the coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye–they need to be watered. <\/p>\n
I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I’ve been searching for all morning. <\/p>\n
I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I’m going to water the flowers. <\/p>\n
I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote, someone left it on the kitchen table. <\/p>\n
I realize 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 \u00a0to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I’ll water the flowers. <\/p>\n
I splash some water on the flowers, but ! most of it spills on the floor. <\/p>\n
So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill. <\/p>\n
Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do. <\/p>\n
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 aren’t watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook, I can’t find the remote, I can’t find my glasses, and I don’t remember what I did with the car keys. <\/p>\n
Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I’m really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I’m really tired. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
Do me a favor, will you? \u00a0Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don’t remember to whom it has been sent. Don’t laugh — if this isn’t you yet, your day is coming!
