Today I Learned! Had to cancel a date tonight because I saved an event with the wrong Timezone. How’s your day?
Kinda funny kinda not.
Was texting following up on plans for tonight when my mother texted reminding me we had plans to see a showing of her favourite movie tonight.
Surely not, it’s not in my calendar today? Oh phew it’s tomorrow…. Wait… it’s 6am tomorrow that’s wrong… “so sorry I have to cancel”.
I try to calendar everything because I have no time awareness and it’s the only way I can manage myself, but sometimes mistakes like this sneak in and mess things up.
A reminder when saving an event from a website or Facebook to local calendar to double check the Timezone! Luckily not a first date and she seems understanding.

I just realized my 30s are over. I turn 41 in July.

It took me being diagnosed at 50 to realize my 20s are over, now 52 and seeking therapy for my 30s 🤣

Sometimes my phone defaults to a timezone I haven’t lived in for years. I’ve got no idea why, but it’s caused several issues.

Not necessarily your fault. I've had this happen and it was the calendar's fault. It automatically adjusted the time when I changed the event time to account for me going into the new time zone.
