Here’s a level of self-acceptance that is both healthy and dangerous. Me, it is my level.
If anything, I have a negative sense of time. It means little to me. And I’ve shared some things on here before. Like taking my family to a train station the day before our tickets were good for, taking kids to birthday parties on the wrong day, etc. I do understand this is an issue. I do try to do better for others who are affected.
Then there’s things that I think just affect me . . like my birthday centered state documents. My license expired this year. No biggie. I was in two days before my birthday and I’m good, right? Well, that would be true . . except . .
For our app to be in the play store and available for android users, they need to verify a lot of things. I understand that. That is logical. They also need my driver’s license. No problem. I sent it. Except it is now expired. Google doesn’t care about the piece of paper that the state gave me that shows that I’m still legal. Nope, they want to see the new license. And there is no google tech robot that will let me talk to a real person to plead my case.
So now, the app launch date of October 1st is delayed because of me . . my lack of time relevance . . I should care more . . but I don’t. I mean, I’m bummed that we aren’t hitting our date!! But also, we had cancelled the prelaunch advertising when there was a problem with our app developer and I was unsure if we were going to be able to deliver. So, there aren’t people that have signed up and are waiting. It literally is just moving dates at this point until I get a little card in the mail and send it off to the Google AI that will scan for my name and an in-date expiration date.
Tonight I am thankful that the book edits are still launching tomorrow!! Ads are changing to just focus on the book! And the app will be coming soon! I still call it all a win! And I am thankful that Time 414 is moving along with divine intervention. This could have been a much bigger problem if just one or two things had been different. But I am thankful that it is truly just a minor delay that pushes things back on a calendar and nothing else 🙂
