Do you have it too? 
Recently, I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. -     Age Activated 
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 my car needs washing. 
As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is 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 down 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 and 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 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 realize 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 rest 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, 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 den 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: 
the driveway is flooded, 
the car isn't washed, 
the bills aren't paid,   
there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter,   
there is still only one 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 really 
baffled!  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? Forward this message to everyone you know, 
because I don't remember to whom it has been sent. 
  
Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!*
