Another bad day

.A.A.D.D.

 

 

 

KNOW THE SYMPTOMS...

 

Thank goodness there's 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 Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

 

 

This is how it manifests itself:

 

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 head towards the garage, I notice post on the porch table that I picked up from the postman earlier.

 

I decide to go through it before I wash the car.

 

I put my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the recycling box under the table, and notice that the recycling box is full.

 

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the recycling first.

 

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the postbox when I take out the recycling paper anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

 

I take my cheque book off the table and notice that there is only one cheque left.

 

My extra cheques are in the desk in my study, so I go into the house to my desk where I find the cup of coffee I'd been drinking.

 

I'm going to look for my cheques but first I need to push the coffee aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

 

The coffee is getting cold, and I decide to make another cup…

 

As I head toward the kitchen with the cold coffee, a vase of flowers on the worktop catches my eye - the flowers need water.

 

I put the coffee 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 put 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 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 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 put 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 cold cup of coffee sitting on the kitchen work-surface

 

The flowers don't have enough water,

 

There is still only 1 cheque in my cheque 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 because I know I was busy all bloody day and I'm really tired.

 

I realise this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help soon!!!!!!!!

It just seems to be names with me, someone would introduce someone & as soon as they have walked away i have forgot the name, unless i write it down, which i also forget to do

Give me a measurement & i will remember it all week
