I won't bore you with my day

other than to tell you that I was very sleepy.

However, I did giggle at one point. While going through governmental administrative regulations regarding workers' compensation, I found this quote (twice):

Benefits may be achieved through therapeutic rehabilitation and rehabilitation intentions, after boney union has been achieved.

ETA: Also, this morning Husband saw a van drive down our street and stop at our driveway and take our paper bag full of paper and cardboard recycling. Huh? Is this for identity theft? Well, there are things in there with our address/name on them, but I shred nearly everything else.

Also, thank goodness I shred my story stuff, because can you imagine the hilarity that would have ensued when they emptied the bag and found dozens of small scrawled extremely slashy notes?

ETAETA: I think I should shred the boney union note just in case.

The person in the van was probably selling the paper to some recycling outfit. Believe it or not, theft of recycling stuff is rampant in some places and the city gets mad about it because they want the money from the recyclables.

I knew someone would have an answer! How surprising--I really had no idea. Our garbage service is privatized, but clearly there's still money to be had by stealing them, apparently.

I know the city in which I live makes something like $50 per bin full so it can be big money.

Wow, that's amazing! I had no idea. Well, that explains why they're driving along and picking that stuff up.
