Recently this has become more active. Hummmm. What was I doing? Oh yea. Here it is. Oh my timecard is due. But first I pour some more coffee..... AAADD 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: 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 mail 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 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 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'd been drinking I'm going to look for my checks, But first I need to push the Pepsi aside So that I don't accidentally knock it over. The Pepsi is getting warm, And I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I headed 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'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 counter, Fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.. Someone 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, But 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 today, I'm really baffled; because I know I was busy all the darn 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... Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!
The only people that won't understand are those with blonde moments. How many times have I done that?
the 1st signs...are when you get 'Carziehmers'... ..thats when you finally get into the shop....but cant remember what you were going to do !!
hmmm, I get it all too well. With me it's my glasses, now where did I put them down? Spend a freakin' hour looking for them, can't do squat cause ya can't see anything...
You need one of these. Notice there aren't any! My wife is horrible with her glasses and her keys. I mean HORRIBLE! She get's better for a few days, when I tell her she should dye her hair blonde to go with the 'moment'. That key holder was her idea! "Here are my keys!" (in english)
