1. Go to Macy's and exchange the gifts Gram bought me (She gave me very serious permission in case I dont care for the jewelry she bought).

2. Make up a shopping list for vacation (about done).

3. Pick up perscription.

4. Buy stamps and mail bills.

5. Go to the bank (this is a biggie!)

6. Go to KMart/Walmart for a duffle bag and/or picnic basket.

7. Go to the grocery store.

8. Clean out fridge.

9. Clean the apartment.

I'm going to save taking the trash out for tomorrow, in case something sneaks its way in. So much to do!!! I cant believe we're leaving on wednesday! Well, better get crackin!

Flylady.net has a great plan for planning for vacation which includes lists. I have used it and also added some of my own things that are relevant to me. I hope that you have a very peaceful and I'm sure well-earned vacation.

Do you have someone picking up your mail?

Any pets to board/feed?

Unplug all major appliances inc. washer/dryer

Set up lights to come on in your house at designated times or even a radio helps. I also ask my neighbor to pick up my newspaper too. Try to have the yard mowed before you leave. An unmowed lawn can be a giveaway.

Ask a neighbor if you can put a small garbage bag in her can. Sometimes, if I can't get a refrigerated item out to the garbage, I will put it in the freezer in a specially marked bag so it won't decay while I'm gone.
