I went to the Doctor yesterday and have been diagnosed with
A.A.A.D.D.- Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it
manifests:
I need to wash my car. As I start toward the garage, I notice that
there is mail on the hall table. I decide to go through the mail
before washing the car. I put my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash under the table, and notice that the trash can is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table to take out the trash
first. But then I say to myself, since I'm going to be near the
mailbox when I take out the trash anyway, I might as well pay the
bills first.
I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only one
cheque left. My extra check are in my desk in the study, so I go to
my desk where I find a bottle of coke that I had been drinking.
I'm about to look for my checks, but first I need to push the coke
aside so that I wouldn't accidentally knock it over. I notice that the coke is getting warm, so I decide that I should put it in the
refrigerator to keep it cold. I head towards the kitchen with the
coke. A vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye - they needed to be watered.
As I put the coke down on the counter, I notice my reading glasses which I decide I had better take them back to my desk, but first I must water the flowers. I put the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water when suddenly I spot the TV remote.
Someone had left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight, when we go to watch TV, we will be looking for the remote, but nobody will remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to take it back to the TV room where it belongs, but first I must water the flowers.
I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the
floor. So, I put the remote back down on the table, to get some towels to wipe up the Then I head down the hall trying to remember why I'm going that way and what I was planning to do.
Now, it's the end of the day; the car isn't washed, the bills aren't
paid, there is a warm bottle of coke sitting on the counter, the
flowers aren't watered, there is still only one 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.
I try to figure out why nothing got done today. I'm really baffled
because I know I was busy all day long and now 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.
anyone come to mind? :shrug:
