Elayne:

Sounds like you may just need to switch to decaf... But if the problem
gets really bad, there are commercially-available filters (both software
and hardware) that filter out high-frequency mouse movements. They're
designed for people with tremor conditions (Parkinson's, etc.) that make
it impossible to use a normal mouse, but the ones I've seen are tunable,
and it may be possible to adjust one to handle your minor "condition".

Search the web for "filter tremor mouse".
