O/T - A.A.A.D.D

I have been to the Doctors today and diagnosed with -
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

Beware 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 towards the garage, I notice some mail in the porch from the morning delivery.

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

I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the bin, and notice it is full.

So I put the bills on the table and take out the rubbish first.

I change my mind and decide to write the cheques for bills first so I can take out rubbish and take a brisk walk to post office, so I may as well sort the bills now.

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

My extra cheques are in my desk in the computer room, so into the computer room and I find the can of coke I was drinking earlier.

I am going to look for the cheques but move the coke to avoid spillage. I realise the coke is warm, so back to the kitchen and the fridge to keep the coke cold.

As I turn towards the kitchen I notice the flowers in the hall - they need to be watered.

I put the coke down, find my glasses that I have been looking for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I am going to water the flowers.

I put the glasses back down, fill a jug of water and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it in the kitchen.

I realise that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember its in the kitchen, so I decide to put it back into the lounge, where it belongs, but first water the flowers.

I poor water into the flowers, spilling some on the floor.

So I put the remote down on the table, and wipe up the spill.

Then its back down the hall trying to remember what I ws planning to do.

At the end of the day:

The driveway is flooded

The car isn't washed

The bills are unpaid

There is a warm can of coke sitting on the side

Still one cheque in the book in the kitchen

I can't find the remote

I can't find my glasses,

and I don't remember what I did with my car keys.

Then I try and figure out why nothing got done today, I am really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I am tired.

Beware its an age thing . . . . .
