Its true, I have A.A.A.D.D. ~ 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 rubbish bin, under the table, and 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 mailbox when I take out  the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.





I take my cheque book off the table, and see that there is only 1 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’d 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 wiped 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 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.
