Does this remind you of yourself?

[Randy Walls]

Kind of long but accurate for me!









RECENTLY, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A. A. A. D. D., Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder, and this is how it manifests itself:



I decided to water my garden.



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



As I started toward the garage, I noticed 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 1 check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find a 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. Then 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 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 spilled 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 Coke sitting on the counter,

----the flowers don't have enough water,

----there is still only 1 check in my checkbook,

----I can't find the remote,

----I can't find my glasses,

----and I don't remember what in the world 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? 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!!!



Growing older is mandatory.

Growing up is optional.

Laughing at yourself is therapeutic.



P.S. I just walked outside and SOMEONE LEFT THE WATER RUNNING IN THE DRIVEWAY!!!! !!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
