I have recently been diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D.
(Advanced Absentminded Attention Deficit Disorder)
This is how it goes:
I decide to wash the car; I start toward the garage
and notice the mail on the table. OK, I’m going to wash the car, but
first I’m going to go through the mail. I lay the car keys down on the
desk, discard the junk mail, and notice the trash can is full. OK, I’ll
just put the bills on my desk and take the trash can out, but since I’m
going to be near the mailbox anyway, I’ll pay these few bills first.
Now, where is my checkbook?
Oops, there’s only one check left. My extra checks
are in my desk. Oh, there’s the coke I was drinking.
I’m going to look for those checks. But first I have
to put my coke further away from the computer, or maybe I’ll pop it into
the fridge to keep it cold for awhile. I head towards the kitchen and my
flowers catch my eye; they need some water. I set the coke on the
counter, and uh oh. There are my glasses. I was looking for them all
morning. I’d better put them away first. I fill a container with water
and head for the flower pots. Uh oh.....someone left the TV remote in
the kitchen. We’ll never think to look in the kitchen tonight when we
want to watch television, so I’d better put it back in the family room
where it belongs. I splash some water into the pots and onto the floor,
I throw the remote onto a soft cushion on the sofa and I head back down
the hall trying to figure out what it was I was going to do? End of the
Day: The car isn’t washed, the bills are unpaid, the coke is sitting on
the kitchen counter, the flowers are half-watered, the checkbook still
only has one check in it and I can’t seem to find my car keys. When I
try to figure out how come nothing got done today, I’m baffled because I
KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY LONG!!!!! -- Author Unknown
