AAADD...KNOW THE SIGNS!! AAADD KNOW THE SYMPTOMS...PLEASE READ! 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 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 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 HEAD 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 CHECKBOOK, 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 DAMN 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!!   My heart knows me better than I know myself, so I'm gonna let it do all the talking. |
