First, not stupid at all! The only stupid question is the one that isn't asked.
Where you live, in summer the days are long and in winter they are both short and dark. The main reason that people sometimes have trouble getting these to rebloom is not enough hours of light. I am quite a bit more south, and I found that my success rate of reblooming increased tremendously when I added some lights to bring "day" up to 12 hours. Plain old cheap LED "daylight" bulbs in any sort of lamp that fits. (I used shop lights because it was a large area and I didn't care how it looked. A lamp would work as well for a small area).
But for now, with spring approaching, I wouldn't worry about getting enough light. What you do need to watch is intensity - leaves do toast pretty easily, and the change in light can catch you by surprise. (I have toasted more leaves in late March, right around the equinox, than any other time of year when the sun suddenly clears barriers like walls and houses and trees) If it looks very bright where the plant is sitting, feel the leaves. Your fingers can tell when they're getting hot and then you can head off a problem well before the burning point.
As for watering, you can't do it by the calendar. A trick that may help you learn the "pattern" of your plant is to water it well (like under the kitchen faucet), let it drain, and then weigh it (kitchen scale or postal scale). Weigh it again the next day, etc. When the rate of weight loss starts to decline (not much more water to evaporate), it's time to water. How often that happens depends on the exact conditions (medium, pot type, humidity, air movement) so you'll need to determine the right interval for YOU, by observing the plant. Especially with fresh medium especially, once a week is probably not enough. With fresh medium (lots of air space) don't worry too much about overwatering. You'll certainly be watering more often than in the old medium that has been in the pot for maybe a few years.
One note on repotting... don't worry about removing all the old medium. Just remove what comes off easily. Root preservation is your goal, aggressive "cleaning" damages roots and isn't needed.
