I just wanted you to know that I have recently been
diagnosed with AAADD. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how
it goes...
I decide to do the laundry, start down the hall and
notice the newspaper on the table. Okay, I'm going to do the laundry. BUT
FIRST I'm going to read the newspaper.
After that, I notice the mail on the table. Okay, I'll
just put the newspaper in the recycle stack. BUT FIRST I'll look
through the pile of mail to see if there are any bills to be paid.
Yes. Now where is the checkbook? Oops, there's the empty
glass from yesterday on the coffee table. I'm going to look for that checkbook.
BUT FIRST, I need to put the glass in the sink.
I head for the kitchen, look out the window, notice my
poor flowers need a drink of water. I put the glass in the sink and there's the
remote for the TV on the kitchen counter. What's it doing here? I'll just put
it away. BUT FIRST, I need to water those plants.
I head for the door and... Aaaagh! stepped on the cat.
Cat needs to be fed. Okay, I'll put the remote away and water the plants. BUT
FIRST I need to feed the cat.
END OF DAY: Laundry is not done, newspapers are still on
the floor, glass is still in the sink, bills are not paid, checkbook is still
lost, and the cat ate the remote control. And, when I try to figure out how
come nothing got done today, I'm baffled because I know I was busy ALL day!
I realize this condition is serious. I'd get help. BUT
FIRST, I think I'll check my e-mail.
