This post is more of a question than anything else.
Yesterday afternoon a got a windows notification that sounded like I staked in Gridcoin. As I do not have more than ~600 GRC.
I found it quite interesting why I would stake this early, but hoped my very best.
I opened up the client, and there was nothing. So I checked my logfile and found the following:

As far as I know the client thought it staked, but somehow it disappeared. So my best guess is that it was either an error made by the client or maybe I was temporarily on a fork?
If I was on the fork, it would have been nice to see it directly in the logfile, that the client found itself on a fork and corrected itself.
Can someone please clarify for me what happened.
Cheers

That's exactly what the line above is telling you. You staked in a chain that got reorganized out of existence. Give it some time and you'll stake again on the right chain.
Excellent answer. Let me just add. You staked on a fork that was soon (2min after) abandoned. In bitcoin mining this would be called orphaned or unconfirmed block. The fork may have just been created with your stake. This is actually quite common.
The block was not accepted by miner of the next block and these are most probable reasons:
