No one will be home to watch Letterman or to update the Netflix queue. There won't be anyone looking for a late night snack in the fridge or listening to iTunes on the stereo. The only life stirring (very slowly) will be the plants, unless our little mouse friend returns in our absence.
So there are a few things we need to do before we leave for vacation:
- Hold the mail
- Stop the weekend paper
- Unplug everything (powerstrips make this easier, at least until the whole house switch is available)
- Eat all the perishables in the fridge (this can require careful planning)
- Water the plants
- Close the windows
- Turn down the thermostat (in winter), turn off the A/C (in summer)
- Give the keys to a responsible friend
