This can get confusing real fast. Imagine a scenario where the current time
is 29th August 18:00 and I set a one-time alarm for 09:00 in the morning.
That alarm would ring obviously ring correctly on 30th August at 09:00 as
expected. However say a few minutes after setting the alarm to 09:00 in the
morning and saving it, I decide that the time is incorrect and I actually
want to instead set the alarm to 29th August (Today) 22:00. How would do I
do that? The moment I had saved the alarm for 09:00, the alarm date was
changed to 30th August. So now when I want to edit the alarm, I cannot go
to the previous date.

Programmatically this is getting way complicated than it should :/
