How long did it take before the guilt wore off that Tuesday, or did it bug you the whole day? I ask because the hard part for me is not the day off, it is sitting there feeling like I should be working the entire time. If the guilt sticks around, you end up just as tired on Wednesday anyway.

Man, that stuff can take on a life of its own. My grandma passed in 2017 and the cemetery kept sending her a bill for the plot every year like clockwork, and when my mom called to tell them she was gone they said they needed it in writing. Sent the death certificate twice before it stopped. So yeah, it's probably just lazy records, but the phone going quiet on you is weird.

That part about messing up your first extraction really got me. I heard a esthetician on a podcast say she stopped counting at 10k because it made her feel old lol. Honestly the years do kind of blur once you're in the chair day after day.
