So annoyed at myself

I was meant to meet a work friend today but I sent a text on Tuesday saying I wouldn’t make it and could we move it to the 28/29th Dec. With all the running about I’ve been doing I put it out of my mind as I’d sent text and didn’t think that I hadn’t had a reply.
Anyway today i received a text from an unknown number and found out it was said work friend but I’d entered her number on my phone incorrectly so she never received my original message. I received her text over an hour after our original meet up time. I feel so bad about it. I mentioned to DH and he says my reason sounds completely made up so she’s probably pretty offended, it isn’t though.
I’ve tried to call her and sent a couple of texts but she’s not picking up the phone or responding. I know I am completely in the wrong on this and this is my fault, but I feel really bad and want to apologise.
I don’t want to keep sending messages/calling as I will appear crazy. However any tips on best way to approach this.....

Oh no!! There's not much you can do other than leave her to cool off!

I never normally do this type of thing, it’s actually really got me down. I suppose that might be friendship over then 😟

Send a screenshot of the original text you sent. It should be time stamped

I’m really ocd with my phone as I have a samsung and it has a memeory issue so I delete messages and clear my sent box daily. I know that sounds weird but I started after reading Marie Kondo.... I really have left myself in a bit of a stupid situation. I would hate to lose a friendship over this. I wish I’d heard from her sooner (not that she is anyway to blame of course) and I would have tried to get out of the family visit I was at, or at least leave a little sooner anyway.

Could you ask the person you mistakwnlu sent the text to to screenshot it and send it to you (explain the situation).

*mistakenly

I will try but the fact they didn’t tell me I’d sent them a message to the wrong number makes me think they will probably ignore me.
I’ve still not heard anything back from her....
