Well, it looks like I'm mot going to get the challenges back BUT I have my desktop awards back to normal again. In case anyone reading this is on a Windows computer and happens to go WAY forward in time like I did this time, here's what worked:
 * With your computer on the current date, start SSHM and click on Friendliness desktop award and leave pop up window open...because I had gone so far forward in time, mine had a time remaining of about 2200 hours (about 90 days)...also I left both the game running and the pop up open; I'm not sure the pop up has to remain open but it helps to see you're still counting down
 * Switch from the game, but do not exit it, to either your Windows desktop (swipe left side of screen to access) or app version of Windows Settings (swipe right side of screen to access)
 * Change the date on your computer back at least an equal number of days to the number of days remaining per the pop up in game: (a) from Windows desktop, right click on the date in the taskbar, click on Adjust date/time, click on Internet Time tab, click on Change settings button, in the pop up uncheck the Synchronize checkbox and click OK to close pop up, click Date and Time tab, click Change date and time button, in the pop up change the date to the requisite date in the past and click OK to close pop up, then click OK to close Date and Time window; or (b) from the app version of Windows Settings, click on Change PC Settings, change Set time automatically to off, click the Change button on Change date and time, in the pop up select the requisite date in the past and click Change to complete and close the pop up (the change is then made and you can leave the Date and time window running and you can also leave Set time automatically set to off)
 * Once the date is changed, switch back to the game to confirm the time remaining says the same as it did when you were on the current date
 * Switch from the game window again to change the date by either version and move the computer date forward 1 day
 * Switch back to the game window and confirm the time remaining has reduced by 24 hours
 * Switch from the game window yet again to change the date by either version and move the computer date forward 1 day again then switch back to the game window to confirm; continue to repeat this step until no time remaining and you see the message the awards are ready; at that point close the pop up and click on your awards to discharge them; if this point is still in the past, you can continue this step and farm your awards until you are back on the current date; if you reach the current date without reducing to no time remaining, you'll either have to wait or you'll have to go back further in the past
 * Note: it isn't necessary to switch back and forth between Date and Time and the game window as you complete each 1 day forward date change...just keep the game running and be sure to switch back to it in time to start farming the awards when no time remains until you reach the current date

I hope that makes sense.
