My last question though - Will it be okay to wait that long and put between 100-200ish miles on it, or should I try and drive it as little as possible and get it to the shop sooner? I'm not sure how fast the mixed coolants could hurt the engine and want to be careful.
Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm very OCD as you can probably tell and just want to make sure my new/old runner is in tip top shape!

You'll be fine to drive it, if it makes you feel better you can check the reservoir after every time you drive it and if it looks like jello don't drive it anymore
, but you should be fine, there's probably not a lot of the Prestone coolant left in there and I doubt it will cause any chemical reactions.
