seventeen clams in a trenchcoat cosplaying as Gilda Radner. also a writer.
Chauncey may no longer live in a vent in my kitchen, but something tells me he hasn’t gone far either… THE END.
At 27.5 hours there was a knock at my door: two maintenance guys heard about all I was dealing with and took pity on me, offering to help me free Chauncey. They removed the trash can and ensured he made his way out of my home! MY HEROES!!!
Shortly after, I sobbed in the “experience department” office and said the word “fuck” too many times to a supervisor who did not appreciate that by hour 25 I had lost all calm, cool, and composure. I regret being upset but in my defense I HAD BEEN VERY CALM COOL AND COMPOSED FOR SO MANY HOURS!!
And if you are wondering WHEN I had my full menty-b about the squirrel in my apartment it was around hour 24!!!! Which is also when I devised this genius contraption because, again, literally everyone—roommates, landlord, animal control—was refusing to help me!!!!
Chauncey (named as such because he took a CHANCE that was DICEY) peed and shit and brought with him SIXTEEN NIGHTMARES WORTH OF DETRITUS from lord knows where…!!! 🤢
I bake cookies so well it inspires squirrels to risk their lives and get STUCK IN MY KITCHEN FOR 27 HOURS because no one—not my apt complex or animal control—would help me remove it! lmao
APPARENTLY I NEED TO CHANGE MY BUTTER RATIOS (browned vs. just melted) uuuuuuugh round two is only nominally better and that was mostly due to COOK TIME AND TEMP CHANGES They’re not bad but THEY CAN BE BETTER. Maybe I will swap out some of the browned butter for more brown sugar (vs. regular)?!?!
Sometimes you just gotta bake some gluten-free brown butter black sesame chocolate chip cookies about it, ya feel me?
Does anyone need some new photos of my dog Winston? @darthbluesky.bsky.social maybe?
AND FOR THE RECORD, I do fucking wear makeup (even tho it is itchy and I feel very allergic to it/my skin reacts poorly) when I leave the house to go it somewhere nice or do my job! BUT YOU NEVER TAKE ME ANYWHERE NICE, DO YOU??????
Does anyone need some perfect photos of my dog??? Guaranteed serotonin boost or your money back!!!
Starting this Sunday evening, I’m doing a twice weekly cooking livestream (one for baking, one for cooking) on IG (for now! May try to also stream to YT)!
HEY LOS ANGELS DID I MENTION I AM THROWING AN ANTI-ICE BAKE SALE ON SUNDAY THE 8th?! From 10am - 2pm I will be slanging gluten-free and gluten-full baked goods I and a few friends make to benefit CHIR-LA!! Will also accept any donations to the cause! My goods are LEGIT and YES WINSTON WILL BE THERE!
okay I feel better now sorry everyone I love you okay here’s a picture of Winston to make up for it bye
This weekend’s news cycle has just been nonstop terrible. The worst of the worst. I dunno what to say about any of it, but Winston is here to provide two (2) serotonins to you each.
Winston thanks you all for the love and he would like you to look over there so he can steal your lunch, xoxo
It was Winston’s birthday yesterday! He’s 4, but still a rascal! And also cold. So I got him a cool dude denim jacket and now he looks like he wants my lunch money.
I truly have nothing to offer the world social commentary-wise, but I do have this photo of my dog being naughty by sitting on a TABLE!!!!
For the record, Beta the dog we are watching ALSO tried on some of the costumes:
The dog I am watching has so many costumes so we are having a fashion show and OH MY GOD WHO SHOULD WINNIE BE?
Hi guys, happy Friday. Winston is not sure who got into the yogurt container but he’s determined to find out!!!
My dog is a true master of getting treats out of people. He just looks at them with this face and the treats rain down upon him!!!
