For those of you that don't get this, you will, your day is coming...
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, I look over at my car
and decide it needs washing.
As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the table that I collected
from the letter 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 rubbish bin under the table, and notice
that it is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the rubbish
first.
But then I think, since I'm going to be near the post-box when I take out
the rubbish anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.
I take my cheque book off the table, and see that there is only 1 cheque
left.
My extra cheques are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to
my desk where I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking. I'm going to look
for my cheques, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't
accidentally knock it over.
The Coke is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the fridge to keep it
cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the
worktop catches my eye - they need water.
I put the Coke on the worktop 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 worktop, fill a container with water and
suddenly spot the TV remote control. Someone left it on the kitchen table.
I realise that tonight when we watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote
control, 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 control 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 worktop
- the flowers don't have enough water
- there is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book
- I can't find the remote control
- 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 because I know I was busy all day, and I'm really tired.
I realise this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check my e-mail.
