Can I blame Mercury Retrograde for this?

mousmeI have the dumb.
The following conversation took place Friday evening, with a coworker.
Coworker: "I tried to call you this morning, but you must have been sleeping pretty soundly, 'cause you never answered your phone."
Me: "I might have been gone already. What time did you phone?"
Coworker: "Around 8:00. The phone rang off the hook, and you don't have an answering machine. I thought you were asleep so I hung up."
Me: "That's odd. I was definitely home at 8:00, and I have an answering machine. Besides, the phone is right next to my bed, so I would have heard it rin— Oh, God."
Guess who accidentally unplugged her phone for three days last week? You get three tries, and the first two don't count.
Anyway, I plugged my phone back in when I got home, and thank God that I'd had the presence of mind to email the RCMP on Friday (before I found out my phone was unplugged) to do a follow-up, because of course they tried to contact me during that time.
So I received a message yesterday (while I was gone, naturally), asking to call them back on Wednesday. YEE!
All in all, while I am an idiot of the worst kind, things have turned out for the better thus far.

I'm so happy! Keeping the good vibes flowing to you!
