The year is "when you start journaling" +which I really, very much like. It makes it a kind of relative calendar to whatever you want. +It makes it feel a little more personal, I think. + +Each Arvelie month is a character in the alphabet. The year and day are zero-indexed +which means, if you started journaling in 2020, January 5rd of 2023 is 02A04. + +If you've done the math, 26 * 14, you'll notice there's a day missing—or +even two for leap years! Arvelie handles this rather elegantly. The Year Day, the +last day of the year, is notated with 01. So, with the same start year, +if it was December 31st, 2032, the date would be written was 12+01. \ No newline at end of file -- cgit 1.4.1-3-g733a5
