What a miserable week.

I finished redoing all the work from last week. It went a bit smoother than I anticipated, but it feels like I missed an entire weeks-worth of productivity.

Tonight I am going back to the salon to get a pedicure. A spa pedicure, as the appointment card notes. This means they're going to soak my tootsies in a warm herbal bath before dealing with them. All this is part of my year-long 40th birthday celebration.

I switched my office keyboard back to Qwerty. Farewell, adieu Dvorak! It was a good attempt. But I really love the split keyboard and since I can't get that in Dvorak, I will need to Qwerty by day and by night. If the keyboard at home works out well, I'll get another one for the office.

My problem with it was resolved quickly. I had sent my email to Fentek, the company from whose website I ordered it from, as well as Comfort, the manufacturer, the night the keyboard arrived without its propper upper things. The next morning, Charles from Comfort called me to apologize and tell me they're expressing me the correct bottom to the keyboard. He called me again to double check which color I had as they were getting ready to ship me a grey board (instead of putty, the color I have. "Good thing I called back!" he said cheerfully). That afternoon, the rep from Fentek called to apologize for her delay in responding to my email (this is still less than 24 hours from when I clicked SEND, mind you). I told her Comfort was taking care of it, and she beamed, "That Charlie is a great guy, isn't he? He'll fix you right up!" It was a very pleasant experience.

So when you need an ergonomic keyboard, Dvorak or not, please visit Fentek and get yourself one there. :-) My keyboard is the ErgoMagic, with little lifter upper things to prop up the split panels.
