Had a cursed week where every batch of bread hated me

Last Tuesday I tried to make sourdough and it came out like a hockey puck, then Thursday my bagels turned into rock hard pretzel shapes because I forgot the malt syrup. Saturday I attempted cinnamon rolls for my daughter's birthday and the dough literally fought me, it kept tearing and I ended up with 12 sad little spirals. What made it worse was that my oven thermometer said 350 but the actual temp was closer to 310, so everything was underbaked in the middle. I checked my starter and it's fine, and I've been baking for like 4 years now, so this was a total fluke week. Has anyone else had a stretch where nothing works and it makes you question if you forgot how to bake overnight?
