How time flies when you're almost having fun

It's true - time goes so freaking quickly when you are almost out of your mind with work to do.

Almost the middle of July, I have been going so fast I'm barely paying attention to things around me.

But I'll tell you about two things I've learned this morning.

One is that a study that involved MRI scans of children's brains while they were being shown images of people being either accidentally or deliberately hurt has led researchers to believe that children are hardwired for empathy.

And the other is that a red panda, rejected by its mother, is being tended by a domestic cat. A cat that is, if I don't say so myself, the spitting image of the cat I had as a little girl.
