Therapeutic heals for A. A. A. D. D

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 my car needs washing. As I start toward the garage I noticed that there was mail on the porch table that I brought up earlier from the mail box. Humming softly, I decided to go through the mail instead before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash bin under the table, and noticed that the bin was full. So, I decided to put the
bills back on the table and took the trash out first.

But then, I paused and thought for a second, since I'm going to be near the mailbox anyway when I take out the trash, I may as well pay the bills first. I took my check book off the table, and saw that there was only one check left. My extra checks are in
my desk in the study, so I went inside the house to my desk where I found the can of Coke that I had been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, determined and mumbling a little louder, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I felt that the Coke was getting warm and so I decided to put it in the refrigerator to let it become cold. As I headed towards the kitchen with the Coke a vase of flowers on the counter caught my eye--hmmm, they need to be watered.

I set the Coke down on the counter, and discovered my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I decided I had better put them back on my desk again 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 I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I
realised that tonight when we begin to watch TV, I will be looking for the
remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I better decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers...

Now, I shall go pour some water in the flower vase, but quite a bit of it spilled on the floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wiped away the spill.

Then I headed down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

-the car wasn't washed,

-the bills weren't paid,

-there was a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter,

-the flowers don't have enough water,

-there is still one check only 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 tried to figure out why nothing got done today, I was really baffled because I knew I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired.

I realised this is a serious problem too 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!

GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.

LAUGHING BLUE AT YOURSELF IS THERAPEUTIC
