While job hunting, it is both discouraging and reassuring every time you hear how unemployment is worsening and people are continually being laid off. The message essentially being it's the economy that sucks, not you. I'm sure that Matt would also like to point out that I'm not as pro-active about the whole process as I could be. It's true, I could be putting more effort into the hunt. Perhaps I should make a sacrifice to the employment gods :)

I still feel odd being introduced to people as Matt's wife. It's as if unconsciously I'm still expecting to hear the word "girlfriend" in it's place. Even more odd because I don't even blink an eye when I introduce Matt as my husband.

And, of course, a mouse update:

It seems having to tend to seven babies has taken it's toll on Alex. Her new sleeping spot is crammed between the bed and the tank wall. Pressing her belly against the glass is her method of "getting away" since none of the little squeakers can attach themselves to her when she's in that position. Other than that they're all doing well.
