Adult AAD

Hello, my name is Cis... I suffer from Adult

Attention Deficiency

I am not making light of those children who do suffer

from this real disease.  Thankfully they have meds to

help these children find a norm in the middle of all

the craziness of the world.

But I am acknowledging the adult side of this.. Some

have this very seriously as well.. and some think it leads

to Alzheimer.

But  the rest of us, can have some humor for this.

So you see for years I thought I was multi-tasking. But now

I find I have a hard time staying on the same task. Still

doing many task.. but going at it like my life is a maze.

I have to really discipline myself to stay in the one room and

finish the job. 

Otherwise it goes like this.. Gather up the wash and take it

to the washer.. push buttons and start.. Go over to the sink

and take dishes and put them in the dish washer.  Go to the

table and take a plate off the table, place it on the sink, and

take the papers you need to shred to the back room and shred

them in the shredder, and see a envelope on the bed. Take

the envelope to the file cabinet.. place it on top, because

you see the pen you have been looking for .. for 3 days.

Take the pen back to the table, You see a book you were

going to mail...so you go to the bedroom and get the large

envelope, and straighten up the desk while you are there.

Pick up your shoes and put them in the closet, and head

out of the room, then remember placing the envelope on

the bed..  Take the envelope to the table, ... dog needs to

go out to pee, so you walk out the door with her.. see the

plants need to be watered... then get the pots you left

yesterday off the deck and place in the shed.. You hear

the washer buzzer go off,   You put them in the dryer.

So you take the wash out and

put it on the couch to be folded. Go back to the bedroom

get the other wash and take it to the washer..  Start it up,

forgot to take some thing out of the freezer, bring that in

the house. While grabbing the broom on the way out

of the garage.. so you can sweep the deck. Phone rings,

and you answer that.. conversation for a few minutes.

Hang up.. oh, so and so is on Facebook.. that shoots down

a half hour.. Buzzer for dryer, so  you take the wash out and

put it on the couch to be folded

Oh, there is the envelope for the books to send out.. Get

that set up,  Where did I put the keys?  Oh, there is the

other pen you lost a couple days ago.  There is the book

I was going to start today..   Uh, ho there is the clothes I

didn't fold up..  Now what was it I was starting in the first

place? Oh, it was chopping up the stuff for salad for to

nights dinner...  Well, you get the idea..  Instead of

mulit-tasking.. it is mixed up tasking..
