If the brake drags, making the bike hard to push around the garage when you're not squeezing the lever, then you need to go back and clean things up so the pistons move freely. If not, you should be OK until the next time you change the pads.

I'm all for proper maintenance, but keep in mind that you can get a decent used caliper delivered to your house for 20 or 30 bucks. You could even pick up a spare, get it in excellent condition as time permits, and have it ready to swap whenever it's needed.
