DC Nychthemeron

As they always say about new words, use it or lose it, so I have been thinking of something meaningful to write about the new word I've learnt today:

Nyc(h)themeron = a 24-hour period, comprising of day and night segments.
DC = roman numeral representation of 600.

So there you go, 600 cycles of days and nights.

That will be the number of days I am with MX tomorrow.

He reminded me on more than one occasion that everyday we spend together is special and we should treat each day like an anniversary, celebrate every moment we share, and though I accept his view on this, it has not stopped me from creating special occasions to celebrate.

After all, we will only share 600 nychthemerons once. Just like age, the number will only grow with time, only the more the merrier! :D

So while our 601 nychthemerons may not be any different from our 599 nychthemerons, it's still a humble milestone in our lives, a testament to our budding romance and the foundation to a future of many more cycles of days and nights to come.
