I had a post in December describing me bouncing around the house. And last week I started off thinking Monday was Tuesday and confused the heck out of my Facebook friends.

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 Pepsi I'd been drinking.
I'm going to look for  my20checks
but first I need to push the Pepsi  aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over.
The Pepsi is getting warm,
and I  decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the  Pepsi,
a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye--they  need water.
As I put the Pepsi 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 qu ite 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 Pepsi 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 damn 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  favor.
Forward this message to everyone you know,
because I  don't remember who the hell I've sent it to.

So I'm not the only one that was running a day ahead of schedule last week. The week finally caught up to me sometime on Thursday. I love this AAADD. I've seen it a few times and it never fails to bring a smile.
