With the flare up the downswing i am trying to cook and prepare the house for xmas for the kids, also trying to finish off thier handmade gifts.

Other than that no noise from any negativity.

Outside update: weve had some decent weather the last week. I have had illness issues for 2 weeks now and it has been a struggle to do my daily tasks as normal. Ive had to rest a lot due to the issues but finally was well enough to let the kids play outside a few times this week.

Anyway, didnt mean to ramble. The pina de agua i made was really good, but i failed to do one of the steps in the pickled warermelon rinds in a timey fashion, so i ended up scrapping it 💀

I woke up great, kinda like today, and about 4 hours in i started hurting so bad i had to lay down. I again fell asleep during the family mlvie too :(

4 hours away on a bus + walking as our chosen mode of transport during those 3 days)...

It took way longer to recover than i thought/expected. I assumed by monday but here it is wednesday and i thought yesterday would be the day.

Scrappy update: a wall has been hit sadly.

Struggling with a depression 'flare up' right now and its definitely not helping productivity on anything really. I had to be "fully functional" with no option to not be, for 3 days straight. (Medical trip for my youngest and my oldest in tow,

But this is my time stamp post to document what she does incase i need a date proof. Thanks for coming to my soap box rant.

We are not the only people who loudly play music outside and we only do it for the kids to have fun outside. they like the music. This woman just had a vendetta against us, no clue why. We dont say anything to her or about her or look her way anymore bc again shes awful.

Came home about half way into our outside time and began screaming obscenities loudly in our direction. She began a verbal screaming match eith our 62yo landlord (who is protective of us) and she is terrified this woman is going to do something physical.

Update on the neighbor situation. Again i only post this here so i can have a form of proof for time etc. But we havent been going outside much to let the kids play because of a mix of weather and my disabilities flaring up. But we still get to go out atleast 2x a week. Yesterday the neighbor

Wanting something to physically/locally show my support outside my home and this is what ive decided on :) very excited about that, i cant do a lot of stuff outaide the home due to disability and transport restrictions so until i am able to move about freely this is how i will fight.

I am crocheting my kids Christmas presents and rn im almost done with the biggest one for my youngest, after christmas i want to embark on crocheting some kind of #freepalestine #freesudan #freecongo etc... Type banner? Flag? Not sure havent decided anything on design but ive been thinking of...

*Honorable mentions from last week i dehydrated garlic skin and onion skins, to make onion and garlic powder, theyre not processed yet past dehydrating 💀 so another update perhaps.

Thanks for reading if you did, woohoo!
#wasteless #scraps #cooking #kitchen

* My first scrap was pinapple skin and just excess scraps, not the leaves, and i decided Agua De Pina was what i was gonna go for. This one im super excited for!

*Technically my second scrap today but i had watermelon rines and so i researched and begrudgingly fell on Pickled Watermelon Rine. I have no clue if i will like it and the process of cutting the rine from the skin was so tedious that if i dont like it i will not be sad to not do this recipe again..

Recently i wanted to get the stuff i havent used out of my freezer so i forced myself, as one does, to begin making more stuff by removing stuff from the freezer and letting it thaw. No turning back now.

Today on Sam's Scraps:
(A short "blog" about what kitchen scraps shit i did today, beginning now)

I have been collecting scraos here and there and last year i wmbarked on this journey by saving my veggie scraps and makine veggie stock for soup. Been doing that for a while and started adding more...

With both memories the bad/the good, they were in the same time space. So the bad made me also block the good memories and its nice to have those.
I know it wont always be this hard/fresh but im trying my hardest to see the bright side. 🫡

Relaizations have been hitting ne pretty hard recently. Have a lot of trauma memories coming back to me and its both refreshing and also super hard bc it is just reliving the trauma over and over again. So theres that... But i also am remembering nice memories that i jad forgotten bc...

May we be the adults we needed.

Beginning my kids xmas gifts this year. I have a lot of factors that prevent me from completing my crafts (and im always in pain), i started my 14 item list for xmas for my kids yesterday.
This will be a 'neo pets' Uni stuffie. I am very excited and so far has completed 2.5 legs in 1 day-ish.

This will be my first of desired little, posts on the ongoing of my abusive neighbors.

I protected my property today in black salt... My the ones who watch over us vindicate those who mean us harm.
