I Like This Better Than Calling It Fibro Fog   Message List

I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A.A.A.D.D.
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder...

This is how it goes:
I decide to wash the car;
I start toward the garage and notice the mail on the table. Okay, I'm
going to wash the car- But first I'm going to go through the mail. I lay
the car keys down on the desk. I discard the junk mail and I notice the
trash can is full. OK, I'll just put the bills on my desk and take the
trash can out. But since I'm going to be near the mailbox anyway, 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 to look for those checks. But first I
need to put my coke further away from the computer. Oh, maybe I'll pop
it into the fridge to keep it cold for a while. I head towards the
kitchen. My flowers catch my eye. 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 put them away first.
I fill a container with water and head for the flower pots - Aaaaaagh! -
Someone left the TV remote in the kitchen. We'll never think to look in
the kitchen tonight when we want to watch television. I'd better put it
back in the family room where it belongs. I splash some water into the
pots - And onto the floor which I have to clean up now. I throw the
remote onto a soft cushion on the sofa.  I head back down the hall
trying 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!
Then I try to figure out why nothing got done today.

I'm baffled because I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY LONG!!!  I realize this
is a
serious condition and I'll get help, BUT FIRST I think I'll check my
e-mail..

Please send this to everyone you know because:
I DON'T REMEMBER IF I'VE SENT IT TO ANYONE ELSE!
