Figures

I lost my knee brace last week. Spent a lot of time looking, got increasingly frustrated, and finally went out to Walgreens this evening to buy a replacement.

I knew that as soon as I bought (and opened) a replacement, the old one would turn up.

I wasn't expecting it to turn up less than ten minutes after I walked in the door. I put on the new knee brace, then walked into the study to nurse Kiera, and found it behind some papers on my desk.

Oh, but now my mouse pad is missing...

Oh, but now my mouse pad is missing...

Where's your husband?

[naomikritzer]

Er, funny you should ask. He turned out to have the mouse pad. He also pointed out that it was originally purchased as a gift for him, years ago.

So now I feel kind of bad for taking it back, but at this point I don't have another mouse pad and I need it to keep the edge of the desk from cutting in to my wrist... (His solution is that I should use proper mousing technique. Bah.)

Well, I took back my mouse pad because I thought (correctly) that it might work better with my optical mouse than my white desk has been. (Actually, I don't know if the problem is the color or the surface). And I confirmed before taking it that my wife's mouse worked fine on her desk without the mouse pad. Though I didn't consider the issue of her wanting to jam her wrist into the side of the desk.

Now I'm trying a purple piece of paper, but that's just a disaster, since the paper is sliding with the mouse. Okay, now I'm using a book, and that seems to be working fine. It looks remarkably stupid, but oh well.

Well,

My suggestion would be to use an incredibly intelligent-looking book about quantum mechanics or somesuch. Then it'd be really impressive.

Here mousey, mousey, mousey...

And here I was going to suggest shifting the papers on the desk you'd moved to uncover the knee brace...

Does hubby have a wet suit? Tell him he doesn't need a crotch strap and cut it off and use THAT as a mouse pad.

Or, not. Up to you.

And so it goes...
