I am sorry to inform you 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.
OK, 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. OK, I'll
just
put the
newspaper in the recycle stack.... BUT FIRST I'll look through the
pile
of mail and 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 dog. Dog needs to be fed. Okay, I'll put
the
remote
away and water the plants... BUT FIRST I need to feed the dog.
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 dog 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
