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 in the driveway, I
look over at my car and decide my car needs washing.
As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is 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, so I lay my car
keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the
table, and notice that the can is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage
first.
But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out
the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.
I take my checkbook 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 Coke that I had been drinking.
I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I see that the Coke is
getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep
it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke a vase of flowers on the
counter catches my eye -- they need to be watered.
I set the Coke down on the counter, fill a container with water, but
quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I 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 counter, the flowers don't have
enough water, there is still only one check in my check book, 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 long, 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... and soda-machines.com.
