One week to takeoff. LOTS to do!
It's my first extended trip. This last week of getting ready looks like it shouldn't be a problem, if I can give up sleeping. The RV and toad have been serviced. Have arranged for lawn care and wee...

Thanks for the helpful suggestions!
DH says the RV is loaded and the car is ready, so there is not much else to do. Yeah, right! Haha! Honestly I think getting the house ready and paperwork/mail under control is a lot more work than the RV. I do appreciate the voices of experience telling me to relax. Yes, I probably should let a few things slide. The last time I was away from home for months was college, and I didn't have to give a thought about mom and dad's house because they were home.
For my friend who'd like a list, here's what I have left....I think.
Tomorrow's list
Forward mail, empty fridge, turn down water heater, put lights on timers, empty and scrub outdoor garbage cans, give away house plants, pay bills, switch newspaper to online, get pine needles out of gutters, get jet pack for cellular, fertilize perennials and bushes. Sprinkler woman will be here to blow out the system for winter, and the furnace man is doing fall service.
Thursday
Get filing caught up, make sure monthly calendar of bills, etc is up to date, type list of website passwords to take along, organize hobby stuff and load in RV, make house shutdown list for DH for the few times he'll return home, pick up prescriptions, call CoachNet
Friday
Go over weekly house check with house checker, go over snowblower with yard kid, consider drinking heavily, wash the last laundry, clean the house,
Saturday
Finish the items above that didn't get done. Get groceries for the first 3-4 days. Load last minute items. Spend the night in the RV.
