Is it ridiculous for me to be this excited?

I have a good friend coming by next week to help me take a bunch of stuff from a demolished shed over to my storage unit. This got me thinking about the rest of my decluttering, and I decided to find out if there’s any way I can get an extra trash bin or if it’s worth renting a dumpster for trash.

But what I really need is an extra recycling bin because most of the stuff that’s here cluttering up the place is cat food/people food cans, glass containers, litter jugs, milk jugs, old reading material I printed out for classes that I finished and I still have all the PDFs so I really don’t need the printouts anymore… And the cat cans come in cardboard boxes and so do a lot of other products and I just have the stuff stacked up everywhere and loading up bins every week to drag to the curb hasn’t made that big of a dent.

And then I found out while looking up the cost of dragging stuff to the trash drop off or landfill versus renting a dumpster, I discovered that our recycling center is open 24/7 and it’s free!

And now I’m super excited because I can finally get rid of all this cardboard and paper and plastic crap that has been jumbling up my house for longer than I am willing to admit!

Is it ridiculous to be this excited about cleaning? I’ve never felt this way, I want to keep feeling this way because now I’m motivated.

I should also mention that I was diagnosed with autism and ADHD in 2024 and I’ve been burned out for months since leaving my job in December and this is the first time I’ve been excited about anything in years.

Has anyone else received a letter in the mail of this kind from Citi?

I received a letter in the mail, allegedly from Citi, in reference to a Home Depot Consumer Credit account regarding my allegedly having delinked my account online and changed my statements and communications to paper delivery, saying I can reestablish online access to my account via Home Depot’s website and says if I want copies of previous credit statements or help for establishing online access, contact them at the number below 833–358–2547. It claims to be from Customer Service.

I have a Citi card, but I do not have a Home Depot card.

I went to Citi’s website, found their authentic customer service number, called it, typed in the last four digits of the account on the letter.

The robot said “we’re sorry, we don’t have an account with that number associated with your name“.

I hesitate to call the number on the letter suspecting it is a scam. I don’t want to link my phone number to them in the event that it’s a scam but also want to know if someone else has opened a card in my name.

I guess I could call Home Depot and see if someone applied, but beyond that, I’m lost. It’s especially concerning because I’ve had a couple of issues with cards being misused and I’m worried this be another similar situation.

Scam? Legit? Thoughts?
