Missed check in and selection

I made the worst mistake ever. For the first time in 8 months, I forgot to check in. Not only did I forget to check in, I was selected to test. I discovered this because I went to go log my required meeting. My heart dropped into my stomach. Immediately emailed my monitor and will be going at 0800 to self test an hour away when they open tomorrow. I am embarrassed and feel so stupid. I switched to night shift and I am so tired and think I just spaced it. The worst part is I'm usually so paranoid and check 4-5 times a day! I have been compliant up until this point, all negative tests, got help before the BON even contacted me about my case, and have been following every single rule without fail. 
 

does anyone think I will lose my license over this? I am sick to my stomach because I have worked so hard. My program is only 2 years and I was so excited that I am so close to the year of monitoring by my BON with no missed check-ins or issues. It's not an excuse but with night shift and my kids going back to school this week, I have been preoccupied/tired. I wish I had missed the check in on a non testing day? I hope that they will see me testing 24 hours after shows I care and don't want to mess up. 

Also, had I gone to an earlier meeting today I would've seen it in time to test. By the time I realized my mistake all testing centers had been closed for an hour or just closed ?

    UPDATE! The best thing ever happened. I searched on the spectrum app and found a place that says it's open 24/7 by calling. It's an hour away but I'm headed there now! So I will thankfully have tested by the closing time of 11:59pm! This was such a horrible experience that I will never miss a check in again

    As long as you made repairs before being asked or mandated, this will all count in your favor. It is an unrealistic expectation that you won't forget a single check in during your time in the program. It's what you do when it happens, and you handled this exceptionally well.

    Thank you so much. I panicked when I saw what had happened. My monitor will open the 2 emails I sent back to back thinking I've lost it? but when you work so hard to keep your license it's probably expected to feel like this when you make a mistake.

    Usually it's 2 or 3 "missed-checkins" allowed before they take some kind of disciplinary action.
