This came to me from a retired friend living in Florida, thought I would
share. "FT"
I know this doesn't describe your condition, but mine?????????
AAADD
I have recently been diagnosed with AAADD - Age Activated
Attention Deficit Disorder
This is how it goes . . .
I decide to clean off the front patio. I start to the patio and notice
mail on the desk that needs to be taken down to the Post Office.
OK, I'm going to the Post Office . . .
BUT FIRST I'm going to go through the mail that was delivered. I
lay the car keys down on desk. After discarding the junk mail, I
notice the trash can is full. OK, I'll just put the bills on my desk .
.
.
BUT FIRST I'll take the trash out. But since I'm going to be near
the mailbox, I'll address a few bills . .
Yes, Now where is the checkbook? Oops.. there's only one check left.
Where did I put the extra checks?
Oh, there is my empty coffee cup from last night on my desk.
I'm going to look for those checks . . .
BUT FIRST I need to put the cup back in the kitchen. I start to
head for the kitchen and look out at my balcony, notice the
flowers need a drink of water because of the extreme heat. I put
the cup on the counter and there's my extra pair of glasses on the
kitchen counter. What are they doing here?
I'll just put them away . . .
BUT FIRST need to water those plants. I head for the door and .
. .Aaaagh! Someone left the TV remote on the wrong spot. Okay,
I'll put the remote away and water the plants on my balcony . . .
BUT FIRST I need to find those checks.
END OF DAY: The patio has not been cleaned, bills still unpaid,
cup still on the counter, checkbook still has only one check left,
lost my car keys . . .
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.
