The swivel on the bottom of the monitor popped right off. Now the top is right about at eyeline, not 3" above it. (Just measured it, it's 3" at its highest point). It also enabled me to move the monitor further back on the desk.

Now I need a mat that prevents my chair from rolling to the low spot on the floor to the left of the desk. I had some of those floor protector jobbies that go under chair legs, but then that kept it from moving at all. I don't have room to move the desk to the left.

Geez. I pushed the keyboard drawer in and noticed that my hips and knees aren't lined up, hips are slid to the left. I'm a little pretzel here - knees to the right, hips to the left, head even more to the left, arms angled to the right because that's where the keyboard shelf is. No wonder I'm in such pain.

Is there anything over the counter that works similar to Flexeril? I need to loosen up these muscles. Ibuprofen only makes it feel temporarily better. Ah hah! Just did a quick check. There are all kinds of herbals that will work. Off to the health store I go.
