IIRC, yesterday you were labelling /dev/sde1, not sdd1.
Did it get enumerated differently today?

If the system consistently mounts the drive to a specific
location (ex /run/media/bobg/<UUID> you could make a
symbolic link to the mount point in your homedir,
say /home/bobg/extdisc.  If the drive is mounted you
have an easy to use path to it.  Otherwise it will
just be a broken link, no problem.
