    Know The Symptoms.....PLEASE READ!

    KNOW THE SYMPTOMS

    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 Coke I'd been drinking.

    I'm going to look for my checks, 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 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 Coke sitting on the counter,
    The flowers don't have enough water,
    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.

    Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all the **** 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 wash the boat.......

    Talking Re: Know The Symptoms.....PLEASE READ!

    I now know I have the exact same symptoms as well.....My wife comes home from work and asks what I did all day? I tell I was busy as heck and didn't have time to finish everything I wanted to get done, and I'm exhausted. She tells me to try again tomorrow and that's what I do, try again the next day.... But somehow new stuff pops up and I got more to do each day of the week than what I started out to do in the first place.... I think I'll just go fishing and take the day off...sounds good to me.....
