I think that I need help!!
I thought you ought to know what my recent diagnosis is. It may account for a lot, thank goodness this hasn\'t happened to any of my friends and acquaintances, it is all very worrying, is there any help for me out there?
I went to the Doctors yesterday and have been diagnosed with AAADD
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder
This is how it manifests itself:
I need to wash my car. As I start towards the front door I notice there\'s post on the hall table. I decide to go through it before washing the car. I put my keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the waste bin and notice that the bin is full. So I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the bin to empty it. But then I think, since I\'m, near the post-box when I take out the bin, I might as well pay the bills first. I take my chequebook off the table and see that there is only one cheque left, so I go to my desk in the office where I find a bottle of coke I had been drinking. I\'m about to look for my new chequebook when I notice that the bottle of coke is warm. So, I decide to put it in the fridge. I head towards the kitchen when a vase of flowers on the worktop catches my eye - they need water.
As I put the coke bottle down on the worktop I notice my glasses, which I had been looking for all morning. I decide I had better take them back to my desk, but first I must water the flowers. I fill a jug of water when I spot the remote for the TV on the kitchen table. Tonight when we go to watch the television we\'ll be looking for it, so I decided to take it back to the TV in the living room, but first I must water the flowers. I splash some water on them, but some spills on the floor. So I put the remote down to wipe the spill. Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.
Now, it\'s the end of the day; the car isn\'t washed, the bills aren\'t paid, there\'s a warm bottle of coke in the kitchen, the flowers aren\'t watered, there\'s only one cheque in my chequebook. I can\'t find the remote or my glasses and I don\'t know what I did with my car keys. I try to work out why nothing got done today and I\'m baffled because I\'ve been busy and now I\'m really tired. I realise this is a problem, and I\'ll try to get some help; but first I\'ll check my emails.
