It's a fine line between paranoia and just being cautous. I used to be the same way when I lived in an apartment, you never know when the landlord (damn I hate that word) will drop in when you're not around.

About every 3rd day I go back in the house before I drive off to work to make sure the door's locked, I haven't left the stove on, etc.

As for that other thing, at least you care about your spelling. That puts you in the front of the pack in my book. Oops, a pun.
