Default oil cap boo boo

so i topped my oil off the other day and forgot to put my oil cap back on, i haven't driven the car since then, which was like 3 days ago since i have been sick. i drove it today to the store (3 miles away) and back. then i realized i forgot to put the cap back on. i saw a bit of spilled oil in the engine bay but i checked my oil on the dipstick and very little (unnoticeable difference) must have spilled out. what should i do to clean the spilt oil and and is there anything else i should do? obviously, i know it was a stupid mistake, but if anyone as any recommendations for how to clean it up and any insight on if any damage could have been done i'd appreciate it.
