There were a lot of little things; for example, I ordered some USB memory sticks from Amazon. Jay finished cleaning out the onions from the balcony plant pots. He also turned off the newspapers until our return. (Yes, we still have a printed paper delivered to the apartment!)
It simply feels as though we are churning through the steps necessary before we depart. The Internet stop and start have already been set. I pre-paid many of the reoccurring bills. Some like the electricity dwindle a lot when everything in the apartment is shut off. It seems our fridge only has to run 7 or 8/12s of a year. We did organize some packing but didn't actually pick items or put them in a suitcase.
We even got our Christmas gift cards from Walmart for our apartment building's staff members. I was thinking how either one or both of us end up in that store at least four times a week. It's most always convenient, although probably a little less so on the weekends because of the crowds. Yet, occasionally, I do enjoy feeling like part of a mob.
We're pros at wrapping things up for the season. We've been doing this for more than decade.
