Before you leave home

✓ Check expiration dates on your driver’s license and passport

✓ Check your cell phone and medical/emergency coverage

✓ Have enough prescription meds to last a few extra days

✓Alert your credit card company

√Prepay all bills that aren’t paid automatically

✓ Stop your mail and newspaper. Visit www.usps.com for the form to hold mail.

✓ Clean out your refrigerator and dispose of all perishables, and ask a neighbor to set out your garbage.

✓ Give a house key to a neighbor.

✓ Make a plan for pets

✓ Turn off the water

✓ Lock doors and windows, and notify your local police department

✓ Adjust the thermostat

✓ Unplug electrical devices, except a timer.

✓ If driving, check road conditions online. Consider a GPS system or, at the very least, a compass. 

That’s all it takes: a bit of planning, some organizing and your list. 

Follow it carefully and you can eliminate a lot of stress. You’ll feel confident that you’ve packed the right clothes, brought enough medicine and unplugged the iron.

Enjoy the trip.

Blockchain Technology in Accounting: Revolutionizing Transparency  Introduction: Blockchain technology has emerged as a revolutionary force, reshaping various industries. In the realm of accounting, transparency holds paramount importance. This article explores how blockchain is fundamentally altering traditional accounting practices, ushering in a new era of clarity and reliability.

Things You Should Do Before 30

By
You’ll Regret It If You Haven’t Done These 30 Things Before 30 Everyone has a bucket list. These days though, that isn’t enough. Indeed, there are now a bunch of things you should do not only before you die, but before you reach the ripe old age of 30. Here are a few I was able to whip up: 1. Go to college. Though it can be expensive, going to college is definitely worth the investment. You’ll make friends, acquire connections, and be around (moderately) smart people all day, every day. The younger you do it, the better. While it’s possible to launch your college career at 30 (and I’m not discouraging you), there’s no question you’ll have more energy to deal with the trials and tribulations of university life when you’ve got all that youthful energy to work with. 2. Watch Doctor Who. Ah, Doctor Who, one of the best science fiction shows in existence! This is a show that can change your entire perspective towards life (for the better) if you give it a chance, especially if you’r...
