Coming to an Age

I went to see a specialist Doctor on referral. The nurse asked me what medicines do you take. I gave her a paper list of all regular medicines I take for survival.

She complemented me, "You are very well organized!"

I said. "No.., these days I put nothing to memory, all on paper."

She sympathized and enjoyed patient like me.

The beautiful lady Doctor followed and put me on table lying my face up. With her chest touching my head, me looking through her beautiful nose, face and curvature and enjoying her smooth skin, she did ultra sonic.

She told me, "Uncle, you have AADD."

I asked her, "Doctor will I survive? I heard of AID, but what the hell this was?"

She explained, "Aged Attention Deficit Disorder."

I asked her, "Doctor give me straight. Am I dying?"

She laughed and said, "No but you have come to an age."

She was right. I had following symptoms manifested:

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 notice that there is 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 down 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 that I had 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.

I realize the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should 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 to be watered.

I set the Coke down on the counter, and I 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 I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will 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 down 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 driveway is flooded
The car isn't washed,
The bills aren't paid,
There is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter,
There is still only one check in my check book,
I can't find my 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 long, and I'm really tired.

I realized this as a serious problem, and decided to come to Doctor. But then I decided to check my Emails and send some to friends. I am on computer and I don't remember why I am on computer.

Boy, I have come to an age in my life.
