Other notes
I started 2017 by cleaning some old condiments out of the fridge (composting the contents and cleaning the jars, not just chucking the whole thing - this is why I hadn't done it before), and that felt perfect. A small, easily-accomplished but long-delayed effort to impose order.
Also, I wanted to report that this weekend we watched two movies: Hunt for the Wilderpeople, which we all enjoyed, and also The Lady in the Van, a movie Skipper has been agitating to watch for weeks and was super-excited to finally get on hold from the library. I didn't even try to watch that movie, because I don't like crying ALL the time, and Duchess watched for a while and then gave up, declaring it "too old" for her. Skipper has a weird inclination toward things that are "too old" for her, like this movie and the book she recently read cover to cover, Lab Girl. It's hard to know how much she enjoys them and how much she gets out of them - it could be just determination to be seen as a sophisticated eccentric. She's certainly an eccentric.
