Let me tell you about yesterday. I get up, go downstairs and begin to make coffee. As I go back to my bedroom to brush my teeth, shave, shower and get dressed, I notice that one of my socks is torn. Apparently, my dog got at it and chewed a hole in it. As I pick up the sock to throw it away, I hear the toilet dripping. So, as I am going towards the bathroom to jiggle the handle, I notice that I need to empty the trash because garbage pick up is today. I bring the bathroom pail downstairs and the phone rings. I put the pail down. It‘s a lender friend of mine asking me about a loan for one of my clients. Before we even finish our call, I get a call on the "other line". I hit the flash button and it's a marketing call. I hit the flash button again and my original party is no longer on the line. Oh well, I'll call her back. I go upstairs to get ready for the day and my wife asks me to take a look outside at the sprinkler system because she heard the sprinklers go on at night and it sounded as if a sprinkler head was missing and it needs to be fixed. I go outside to find out which sprinkler she is talking about and I notice something is laying at the bottom of the pool. I begin looking for a net that we usually keep outside near the pool to pick things out of the water, but I can't find it. However, I notice a gopher hole in the grassy area. I go out to the garage to find the net and get a gopher trap and notice that one of the lights in the garage doesn't work. I go to where we keep the bulbs and wonder why the lights in one of the cars is on. I notice that one of the car doors is ajar. I then hear my wife, who is at the top of the stairs, ask me if I want breakfast. I tell her yes but that I need to do a few things. She pokes her head in the garage and tells me that I need to look over some bills that are on the counter because she doesn't know what some credit card charges are for. I go back to the kitchen and begin to look over the credit card statements and I notice that the dog is licking an empty water bowl. I walk over to the bowl and begin filling it up and the clothes dryer begins to buzz. My wife must have put a load in and is now upstairs. Before I have a chance to open the dryer, the dogs are scratching at the door to go outside. I go to let them out and notice the door to the garage is open and the lights are on. Now, who did that? The doorbell rings and I go to see who it is and I trip on the pail in the hallway. Who left that there? It's the exterminator saying that they will be spraying around the house so please bring my dogs inside. I go to the door where the dogs are usually behind and find that they are not there. I could have sworn I let them out a little while ago. The clothes dryer buzzes. My wife tells me that I need to look at the toilet because it is dripping. Also, she asks why I didn't bring down the pail from the bedroom because today is garbage day. She asks me if I had a chance to look at the sprinklers and she asked me why I didn't put any coffee grinds in the coffee maker. Also, she asks, did I know that the dog ate one of my socks. It was on the floor in the bedroom.
Well, I won't bore you with the rest of my day, but, needless to say, it wasn't much better. But, it seems like the older I get, there are more days are like that. What do we call this if is isn't ADD?
