You'd be least capable if you were leaving yesterday. :)

By a couple, do you mean two?
What kind of floor do you have?
If the floor is invulnerable, such as sheet vinyl linoleum, I would
put a whole roll or two of towels on the floor, or better yet, stacks
of old newspapers where the water lands and the surrounding area.
I used to think ceramic tile was invulnerable to water, but here I
heard that the grout is always water permeable. I really don't know.
I don't know much, but do you have a friend or neighbor who could look
in every day for the first couple days, and every couple days if it's
not so bad. Or who could mop it up?
My next door neighbor used to have a key to my place, but they moved.
I had to go 2/3rds of a mile away to find someone I trusted enough to
have a key.
