so. I absolutely adore pigeons. I feed them in the parks, help them untangle from whatever bullshit they got tangled in yadda yadda yadda. yesterday I took in a seemingly hurt pigeon, gave it a cardboard box, food, water, the whole shebang. just for context it is 40°C where I live (104F for my americans). AND I decided it was a perfect time to try and bake some macarons for the first time.

just imagine. me hugging the toilet. tiles beneath me covered in sweat. half mixed macarons still waiting on the table. a stick of butter I left out for the filling actually melting into goo all over my WOODEN counters.

this sucks so bad. I fucked up.

then. remember a similar situation that happened a couple of months ago. realize the universe is trying SO HARD to teach me a lesson. "DO NOT FUCKING HANDLE FERAL PIGEONS WITHOUT GLOVES". okay yeah. yeah I get it now.

doesn't stop me from loving these creatures tho.

TL;DR: I had the worst day of my life because of a pigeon and just realized this has been happening for some time as a pattern
