You’re welcome. What can also lift a gloomy day is a healthy dose of cuteness, and we can deliver that, too.

Marceline‘s tweet went viral, with more than 100,000 retweets, proving what we already suspected – we’re all in desperate need of something to take our minds off the news. Some people sent her more harvest mouse photos.


Others were simply delighted by the pictures.

And we learnt this fantastic fact.

Someone named Mike Peterson pointed out that it isn’t just the tiny mice that like to make a bed in the petals.
