Okay, I haven't driven the car since Friday, much longer than I had it sit for when the battery died (only had it sit over the weekend when it died). The battery is still okay, I have power to everything. Not sure what made the battery die before.

You probably had a light on or you may have a bad switch. The switch can turn on or not turn off from door closing.

The interior lights are "supposed" to go off automagically after 5 minutes after key removed & driver door closed.

The radio stays energized for 10 minutes. As do the windows after the key is turned of but before the doors are opened.
RAP .. Retained auxiliary power.

The interior lights are on a circuit that dims out, different from RAP but close. Fun to watch when you get home late.
