I have recently been diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D.
(Advanced Absentminded Attention Deficit Disorder)
This is how it goes:
I decide to wash the car; I start toward the garage
and notice the mail on the table. OK, I'm going to
wash the car, but first I'm going to go through the
mail. I lay the car keys down on the desk, discard
the junk mail, and notice the trash can is full.
OK, I'll just put the bills on my desk and take the
trash can out, but since I'm going to be near the
mailbox anyway, I'll pay these few bills first. Now,
where is my checkbook? Oops, there's only one check
left. My extra checks are in my desk.
Oh, there's the coke I was drinking. I'm going to
look for those checks. But first I have to put my
coke further away from the computer, or maybe I'll pop
it into the fridge to keep it cold for a while. I
head towards the kitchen and my flowers catch my eye;
they need some water.
I set the coke on the counter, and uh oh. There are
my glasses. I was looking for them all morning. I'd
better put them away first. I fill a container with
water and head for the flower pots. Uh oh.....someone
left the TV remote in the kitchen. We'll never think
to look in the kitchen tonight when we want to watch
television, so I'd better put it back in the family
room where it belongs.
I splash some water into the pots and onto the
floor, I throw the remote onto a soft cushion on the
sofa and I head back down the hall trying to figure
out what it was I was going to do?
End of the Day:
The car isn't washed, the bills are unpaid, the coke
is sitting on the kitchen counter, the flowers are
half-watered, the checkbook still only has one check
in it and I can't seem to find my car keys. When I
try to figure out how come nothing got done today, I'm
baffled because I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY LONG!!!!!
I realize this is a serious condition and I'll get
help, but first I think I'll check my
email................
Please send this to everyone you know because I DON'T
REMEMBER TO WHOM I'VE SENT THIS!!!!!!
