My Diagnosis

Sumrpal · 2003-09-12, 09:58 AM

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests itself:

I decided to wash my car. As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the hall table. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash can under the table, and notice that the trash can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the trash first, but then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my checkbook 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 to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had 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. I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should 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 to be watered. I set the Coke down on the counter, and I 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 I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, we will be looking for the remote, but nobody will 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 splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down 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 aren't watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook, 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 day long, 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 check my e-mail. Do me a favor, will you? Show this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember who I have shown it to so far.

Don't laugh - if this isn't you yet, your day is coming! And if you have seen this before, well, now you know why you're seeing it again.

While no disease is funny (especially to those who it afflicts), I'm not sure I understand where your going with this statement.

Are you trying to say that this will eventually happen to everyone? (Or just those who laugh at it?)

Greenguy · 2003-09-12, 10:27 AM

Things like that happen to me alot - usually between my 8th & 10th beers

Cleo · 2003-09-12, 11:53 AM

I find this helps

It actually makes it even worse, but once stoned I don't care and since I'm then glued to the couch I never get around to get caught up in getting caught up.

Sumrpal · 2003-09-13, 10:38 AM

It's just a joke Dr B.

Though in reality, it pretty well describes a typical day for me if I don't consciously bear down and pay attention. LOL

No offense meant to anyone.
