A.A.A.D.D.
KNOW THE SYMPTOMS
Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.
Somehow I feel better even though I have it!!
Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D.
Age Associated Attention Deficit 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
I brought 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 can under the table,
and notice that the can is full.
So I decide to put the bills back on the table & take out the garbage first.
But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the 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 check left.
My extra checks are in my desk in the study,
so I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of Dr Pepper I'd been drinking.
I'm going to look for my checks,
but first I need to push the Dr Peper aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over.
The Dr Pepper is getting warm.
I decide to put it in the
refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the [censored] with the Dr Pepper,
a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye.
They need water.
I put the Dr Pepper on the counter and
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 spot the TV remote
someone had left it on the [censored] table.
I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,
I'll be looking for the remote,
but I won't remember that it's on the [censored] table,
so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs..
But first I'll water the flowers.
I pour some water in the flowers.
Quite a bit of it spills on the floor.
So, I set the remote back 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
Dr Pepper 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,
I'm really baffled 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 for it, but first I'll check the new posts on "FORDIFICATION.COM".....

Re: Do you have AAADD?
For months I have been trying to figure this same issue out, guess I had better get to the doc and see if it is treatable....

Re: Do you have AAADD?
the frequency and severity are becoming more noticeable. Bad part is I am not quite 40. Not a good sign.
I am an outspoken person. I will not be quiet to make you happy.
