Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Florida

I recently filed for bankrupcy on my own, i had appeared before court on oct 7, in which my trustee asked me why did i have mail sent from my friend address which is a parralegal. I told her I didn't. In which i did, but I wasn't thinking i was very stressed that week and totally forgot. My sister and her kids was recently living with me at the time, and my mail was getting misplaced, i wanted to make sure i got all my mail. I wasn't trying to mislead the court. I want to know should I contact my trustee and tell her what happened or do i need to get a lawyer.

The trustee may have asked the question because the bankruptcy rules require that any preparer or assistance with the petition be divulged. Explain the facts to the trustee; unless there are additional issues, an attorney is not required.
