  AAADD
  KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.......PLEASE READ!

  Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.
  Somehow I feel better even though I have it!!

  Recently, I was diagnosed with 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 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.

  As 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 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 favor.
  Forward this message to everyone you know,
  because I don't remember who the hell I've sent it to.


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