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

This is how it manifests:

Today I decide to water my garden.

As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my car needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice that there are letters on the table that I brought up from the letter box earlier.

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 rubish bin under the table, and I notice that the bin is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the rubish first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the letterbox when I take out the rubish anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

So I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only 1 check left.

My extra checks are in my desk in another room, so I go inside the house 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 Bench catches my eye--they need to be watered.

I set the Coke down on the bench, 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, I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the living room where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit 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:

1) The car isn't washed
2) The bills aren't paid
3) There is a warm can of Coke sitting on the bench
4) The flowers don't have enough water
5) There is still only 1 check in my check book,
6) I can't find the TV remote,
7) I can't find my glasses,
8) 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.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY.
GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.

Totally relate to it

Here I sit Broken Hearted

I prayed for Wind

But it went and glassed off

So I went to go for a surf instead

But got all depressed when it was well below head

So now not knowing where to go

I think I'll go give the Lawn a mow

I've mown the lawn,

I did prevail

So tomorow I can sail

So with disdain and my Zimmer frame

I'll zoom past Hardie Yet again

Hardie..

Hate is such a horrible word

and from you it sounds quite absurd

But you know that I can allways Beatya

Cause I'm Elmo The Crutcheater

Here I sit slightly disliked

Drove my car

When I should have biked

Got pulled over by the police who were asking

Was that Hardie that you were passing??

FRIENDSHIP OVER!!!

Oh Yeh, I forgot about that!!

FRIENDSHIP BACK ON!!!!!!
