Turns out the whole Stefan quitting thing was a hoax, which kinda calls doubt on the other fan interviews on that site. A lot of ticked-off/relieved people in Lazytown. A couple of mums and other caretakers are pretty pissed on their kids' behalf as well. I didn't tell the kids. I had a bit of art Shinju did in response as my desktop, but the authenticity was already being called into question by the time Bug saw it, so I just told her what was going on in the picture, not the reason for it. I just told Leah the whole sordid thing, since she's older and smarter.

I'm feeling a bit better again, and I'm no longer sure if I'm sick. I've got a cough and between half and two-thirds my usual spoon ration, but I feel otherwise fine.
