Had three consecutive baking disasters in one afternoon last week and I still don't know what went wrong

My chocolate chip cookies turned into flat puddles, my bread loaf came out dense as a brick, and my brownies somehow caught on fire in the oven all within 4 hours, so has anyone else had a run of bad luck like that where you just had to walk away from the kitchen for the night?

Man, that sounds like a nightmare of a day. I read somewhere that oven temperature fluctuations can cause a bunch of different recipes to go wrong at once, so maybe your oven is acting up. Could be worth grabbing a cheap oven thermometer to check if the temp is actually what you set it to.

Grabbed a thermometer last month and found my oven was running 50 degrees hot (which explained a lot of burnt cookies).
