ysobelI may have had an iced coffee this morning.
I may also have had a frappuccino this afternoon because we happened to be passing a Starbucks at 3:15 and they're doing half-price-frappuccino happy hour from 3-5. (Mocha coconut = awesome)
I may be a wee bit caffeinated.
"a wee bit" may be understating things.
You know. Just possibly.

I have a (relatively new) bump on my wrist at the base of my thumb. It hurts, and more so if I do anything involving said thumb -- which includes typing (that hand uses a stick because it can't reach the keyboard, but stick manipulation involves fingers and thumb) and mouse use.
Grr.
#
I also need to find a new sort of mouse, because my current one (an evoluent vertical mouse) is getting wonky, by which I mean "not always wanting to function as a mouse". (Which is making the thumb problem worse because, much like the tendency to push remote buttons harder when the battery is dying, I tend to grip tighter to try to convince the cursor that it wants to move.)
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for something that doesn't take up a lot of real estate and that also doesn't require a lot of movement (one of the nice things about the evoluent is that when it's behaving, I can get from one side of the monitor to the other with just about an inch or slightly less of movement). Don't care whether it's wireless or wired. Does need to be right-handed, or at least not-left-handed.

Alas, as these are the only types I use, this is the only mouse suggestion I have.
