The traffic in NJ is insane, so I think sitting on the train, reading, is better for me. I use a track at home. Today was my first day with my splint, and everything was hard. You really need your thumbs to do a lot of stuff.

Gah! What is your alternative to using a mouse? Using a tracker ball? Would that be any benefit? My boss uses one and any time I have to use his computer I cringe. I hate the tracker balls!

PT = physical therapy, which should be pretty interesting for my hand. I did it for my toes many years ago, and remember thinking how silly it was that they had me warm up on an exercise bike, which doesn't really make your toes move.

It's frustrating, when rush hour travel is disrupted. There are so many people trying to get in and out of the city. I have found that Simon & Schuster always seems to be PDFs on Netgalley, but not on Edelweiss. I really need to be more careful when I click. They have so many awesome titles, but it's not worth struggling with the pdf. I can just wait and read it at some point from the library.
