A.a.a.d.d

:angel2: Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated AttentionDeficit 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 Ibrought 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 canunder the table, and notice that the can is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbagefirst. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take outthe 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 checkleft. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house tomy 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 asideso that I don't accidentally knock it over. The Coke is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator tokeep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on thecounter catches my eye--they need water. I put the Coke on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I'vebeen searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to waterthe flowers. I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with waterand 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 theremote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decideto put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water theflowers. I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on thefloor. So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up thespill. 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 1 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 reallybaffled because I know I was busy all damn day, and I'm really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help forit, but first I need to check my e-mail.... *grin* and by the way if Iowe you one I forgot.. forgive me. Do me a favor. Can you forward this message to everyone you know, because I don'tremember who I've sent it to. Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

For a person who can't remember, a lot of the events were recalled well. It sounds more like disorganization to me.
