Thought for today - 5 May

[AlanHo]

Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

[Watchful]

No, if I think for too long I get morbid :(

Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

My sister sent me this yesterday.......or it might have been the day before

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 check book 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 Coke I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside

so

that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Coke is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to

keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the

counter catches my eye... they need water.

I put the Coke 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 Coke sitting on the counter.

The flowers don't have enough water.

There is still only 1 check 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 try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really

baffled because I know I was busy all 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...

Do me a favour. Forward this message to everyone you know, because I

don't

remember who the heck I've sent it to.

Don't laugh... if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!

:lol: That's from America isn't it? That's me exactly; brain is always one step ahead of physical actions :D

I was reading through that and thought it was normal.
