ADD

So I'm sitting here thinking...what should I blog about today.  And of course the topic that I always talk to my friends about comes to mind...ADD.  The funny thing is...I forgot that I thought of this topic and was really trying hard to think about what I was thinking about.  Talk about being Funny!  Anyways, I don't know if it's the age thing, actual ADD or something else, but my memory just doesn't seem to be like it used to.  I used to be able to remember every last detail plus more.  In the last few years, I've noticed that I forget a lot more things...from what I ate yesterday to what I was just thinking or doing.  My friend says that you have to be born with ADD but as the days, weeks, months and years go by...I beg to differ.  I can go through a day at home and think...what was it that I did today.  From doing my laundry in the morning and forgetting about putting it in the dryer till a few days later, to even mailing a letter and finding it still on the counter a week later.  For obvious reasons, I'd like to think it has nothing to do with age and that it really is a disease.  Having to make lists for things I have to do is really upsetting and a little disturbing.  Is this really what getting older is all about?  Or is it that we just don't put as much importance on these small little tasks and are easy to forget cause there are more important things in our lives to worry about?  Let's hope it's the later.
