Ace Hardware Member Update

I looked over the notes from yesterday and I think the best path is still the simpler one.
When I tried adding too many steps, it became harder to keep the rhythm going and I ended up circling back anyway.
I would rather make one clear decision, test it in a relaxed way, and then adjust if it feels off.
That usually saves me from wasting energy.

I also wanted to say that your suggestion about taking a short break before starting again was helpful.
I did that this morning, made tea, walked around the room once, and came back with a much steadier mind.
The whole thing felt less tangled after that.
I am not fully finished, but I am finally at the stage where the pieces make sense and nothing feels forced.
If you want, I can send a cleaner update later tonight after I read through everything one more time.

This message records a member-status reward update and summarizes the current loyalty recognition details.

I finally had a chance to sit with your question, and I think my answer is probably yes, just not in the rushed way I first imagined.
I needed a little distance before replying because everything felt louder than it really was.
After stepping away for a bit, the choice became much more obvious.
I am leaning toward doing it earlier in the week when there is less noise around everything and more space to focus.

I do not think it has to be perfectly arranged to work well.
In fact, it will probably go more smoothly if I stop polishing every tiny detail and keep things practical.
I can prepare a short version, try it once, and then revise if needed.
That approach usually helps me stay flexible.
If you are free tomorrow, send me the timing that works best for you and I will adjust on my side so it stays simple and easy to follow.
