Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder

A.A.A.D.D.- KNOW THE SYMPTOMS! 

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.
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 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 I've sent it to.

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

P.S. I don't remember who sent it to me, so if it was you, I'm sorry
