iPhone Thumb?

I am a dork. My left thumb (the part that attaches to my wrist) has been KILLING me lately, and I was concerned that it was the beginning of early arthritis for me. I was complaining about it yesterday, and Hubby looked at me and laughed. I didn't get what he found to be particularly funny, so he explained that his thumb hurt in the same place a couple weeks ago.

He calls it "iPhone Thumb." That, and I have been playing Plants vs Zombies a lot on it. So, I basically need to give my thumb a rest. Because once you get an iPhone/iPod Touch, you play with it so much it hurts your hands.

Yeah, I feel kind of dumb now. Because that makes perfect sense. I'm just happy it's not arthritis. I mean, I'm not even in my forties yet.

Busy but good weekend. It rained the whole time and was chilly and miserable, but we had fun with the kids and got stuff done. I installed the Windows 7 upgrade on the Kid's computer and my Mini, and I like it so far. But it takes FOREVER to install! I just wish Apple made a mini. Oh, wait, they DID. Called an iPad. But I think an iPad is a waste. It's just a big old iPod Touch (unless you buy the 3G version but you have to pay monthly for the wireless) and frankly, my iPhone has everything I need. But yes, the iPad is pretty and fun. But why would I pay $800 for pretty and fun? Yeah, I don't think so.

Time for breakfast. Thing Four and I have watched KUNG FU PANDA so many times, I am craving noodles. I guess toast and OJ will have to do! ;-)

The more I look at the iPad, the more I realize it's not really useful for writing -- the Macbook makes more sense for travel, because of the capacity.

If someone gave me an IPad, I wouldn't say no, but as far as buying one -- it's not practical right now. Maybe the next version will be more writer-centric.

I had to change the way I position my hands on the laptop keyboard because the two pinkis were getting swollen, bruised, and the tendons were irritated.
