Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder
Instead of sharing a comedy video with you today, I decided to share this little funny that I heard last week at a ladies' meeting. This is so me it isn't even funny. . . and I'm not THAT old! Anyway, I hope you enjoy. Maybe you won't recognize yourself in the following scenario. I wasn't so lucky!
I decide to wash the car; I start toward the garage andnotice the mail on the table. OK, I'm going to wash the car. But firstI'm going to go through the mail. I lay the car keys down on the desk,discard the junk mail and I notice the trash can is full. OK, I'll justput the bills on my desk and take the trash can out, but since I'm goingto be near the mailboxanyway, 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 tolook for those checks. But first I need to put my coke further away fromthe computer, oh maybe I'll pop it into the fridge to keep it cold for awhile.
I head towards the kitchen and my flowers catch myeye, they need some water. I set the coke on the counter and ooh oh!There are my glasses. I was looking for them all morning! I'd better putthem away first.
I fill a container with water and head for theflower pots - - Aaaaaagh! Someone left the TV remote in the kitchen.We'll never think to look in the kitchen tonight when we want to watchtelevision so I'd better put it back in the family room where itbelongs. I splash some water into the pots and onto the floor, I throwthe remote onto a soft cushion on the sofa and I head back down the halltrying to figure out what it was I was going to do?
End of 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 donetoday, I'm baffled because I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY LONG!!! I realizethis is a serious condition and I'll get help, BUT FIRST I think I'llcheck my e-mail...
