AAADD
I have recently been diagnosed with AAADDãAge Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it goes:
I decide to do work on the car, start to the garage and notice the mail on the table. OK, I'm going to work on the car . . . BUT FIRST I'm going to go through the mail. Lay car keys down on desk. After discarding the junk mail, I notice the trash can is full. OK, I'll just put the bills on my desk . . . BUT FIRST I'll take the trash out, but since I'm going to be near the mailbox, I'll address a few bills. . . . Yes, now where is the checkbook?
Oops, there's only one check left. Where did I put the extra checks?
Oh, there is my empty plastic cup from last night on my desk. I'm going to look for those checks . . . BUT FIRST I need to put the cup back in the kitchen.
I head for the kitchen, look out the window, notice the flowers need a drink of water.
I put the cup on the counter and there's my extra pair of glasses on the kitchen counter. What are they doing here? I'll just put them away . . . BUT FIRST I need to water those plants.
I head for the door and . . . Aaaagh! Someone left the TV remote on the wrong spot! Okay, I'll put the remote away and water the plants . . . BUT FIRST I need to find those checks.
END OF DAY: Oil in car not changed, bills still unpaid, cup still in the sink, checkbook still has only one check left, lost my car keys, and when I try to figure out how come nothing got done today, I'm baffled! I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY! I realize this condition is serious. I'd get help . . . BUT FIRST I think I'll check my e-mail.
