Answer 1

Try this at the start of the file:

import datetime

actualday = datetime.datetime.today().day  # get the actual day 
actualmonth = datetime.datetime.today().month  # get the actual month 

bday = 1  # day of birthday
bmonth = 1  # month of birthday

if actualday == bday and actualmonth == bmonth :
    # code

it should finish the process if the dates aren't equal
