I made cheesecake, and stupidly took it out of the pan too early, and it cracked like mad. I now have it in a saran wrap sling trying to keep it together.

Maybe a cup of hot water, aurelia?

This, except a kettle, not a cup. Especially if it'll take you a few minutes to get from your door to the car -- wrap the kettle in a towel or something to keep the heat in on the way. It is possible you'll just build up more ice, but I think it's worth a try. The ice holding the door shut shouldn't be all that thick, it's just that it's the entire door edge. So even melting a little might make enough difference to you get the door open.

That said, be careful! With the hot water and the ice and the driving and the glavin.

I'd get isopropyl alcohol at the drugstore and pour that on the doors

Hush, you, sarameg.

For the record, the web site has updated the recipe. Quick service.

I do have to avoid snarfing the whole tray, even though they're broken. I wish my appetite would calm down. I'm running out of clothes.

Turns out the guy that woke me at ass o'clock on Saturday was indeed interviewing me for a position for which I was not suited. I explained it a million times to the recruiter, but nothing.

Melatonin doesn't work, ambien script not called in. I hope tonight goes better than last.

Cat pee! (um, I gotta a lot.)

that may be one of the funniest posts ever.

HELLO, while not ideal, they seem to have worked ok! Besides, brownies, short of spoiled ingedients, are good in all forms and I say this as a not-sweet-lover-prefers-the-crusty-edges-not-a-chocolate-lover. Though I ate a lot of choc chip cookies today. I'm blaming salt content and late hormones swamping me.

T's dad is hanging lights on their balcony. Which prompted me to spray my bodhi lights to get them to open so I can put them on my tree. MINE. MY TREE. I need an extension cord.

My cat pee??! FIE.

(MK had just done one of his sugar out of bounds let out lakes. Lots of paper towels. PIA. Thank god he sticks to the tray now.)

EEEK, sara!

I'm completely out of eggs but the bread pudding made it worth it. I need to work up a grocery list. And pick up the toy room. I'll probably just make pie crusts instead.

I don't think I'll be trying the hot water trick. I don't want to have it re-freeze and leave me stranded away from home. Doesn't windshield wiper fluid have de-icing qualities? I may have a bottle in the trunk. I know I have isopropyl alcohol somewhere but I'm not sure if I have much.

Anyway... brownies just went in the oven. Yay!

ION, someone who lives down the hall from me has either gone missing or just abandoned their apartment, including their cat. Landlord has been trying to get the Anti-Cruelty Society to come get the cat but hasn't received a response. I just sent him the contact information for the shelter where I got my cats and offered to feed the cat for the rest of the week. I hope this gets resolved quickly.
