Missing Checks and Blonde Moments

So last night I started to get a little concerned that the refund check for my deposit on previous rental property was sent off a week ago and I still hadn't gotten it. Further investigation showed that apparently I had a blonde moment when writing down my address and forgot to include the apartment number. I did finally get the check today which was at the rental office for my current apartment. They hadn't called because apparently the guy who I haven't dealt with much didn't realized that my long distance cell number was still a good number. I'm guessing the check arrived Saturday and has been sitting there since then. This of course was all determined after driving all the way to the post office this morning. So I was on my way back to my apartment driving through a small commercial area in town and came to an intersection that required stopping. I stopped for what I could have swore was a red light. An undetermined amount of time later I looked in my rear view mirror to notice a police officer behind me and then looked up to realize that I couldn't see a light at my intersection. All I could see was the light at the next intersection. I have no idea how long I sat there or how long the cop was there but I felt pretty stupid. I think there was a stop sign for a 4 way stop but nothing requiring me to sit there and wait several minutes. Then leaving work tonight I forgot my cell phone. Today was obviously not a good day for my memory which just sucks sometimes. I hope tomorrow my brain decides to join me at work.
