You have to be retired to appreciate this one.

 

 

AAADD - KNOW THE SYMPTOMS

 

Thank goodness there is 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 mailbox 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.

 

Therefore, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.

 

Then I think, since I am 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 Pepsi I had been drinking.

 

 

I am going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Pepsi aside so that I do not accidentally knock it over.

 

The Pepsi is getting warm. I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

 

As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi, A vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye. They need water.

 

I put the Pepsi on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I have 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 kitchen 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 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. 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

 

Pepsi 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 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 my e-mail....

 

Do me a favor.

 

Forward this message to everyone you know, Because I don't remember who I've sent it to..

 

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