I'd create a database or store of some kind in which I could store all human knowledge I could get my hands on, something that would be around for millions of years after I die. No sense in letting all this civilization go to waste. If another intelligent species develops on Earth or if an extraterrestrial civilization comes a-visitng, they can get some idea of what we were all about.
Other than that, obviously I'd have to grow food. There's a stream that runs near my house that I might be able to redirect to a local park for crops. I'm thinking some apples, oranges, corn, wheat, tomatoes, asparagus, broccoli, olives and soy. This would by far be the most daunting task because I don't have farming experience. There's not much in the form of edible animals in the area except for rodents and such. I doubt I could train my beagle Jack to hunt, though, he'd just bark and chase them up trees. I'd probably keep more dogs, as Jack's life expectancy is really only around 15 years and I'd want the companionship to keep from losing my mind. Maybe a neighbor has a dog more fitted to hunting.
Oh, and I'd bury as many people as possible assuming whatever happened to them left their bodies around.
