Keiko's Journey

CD365

Dec. 21, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

You read that right: tonight marks Cycle Day 365... it's officially been a year since the start of my last period. I can't believe it's been a whole year already. CDs 1-4 were regular heavy flow and then... nothing. I thought for sure on CD15 I was ovulating - mittelschmerz and … Read More »

Brief Updates on Life

Dec. 17, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

Sitting in the BWI airport, waiting to fly home. Larry's great-aunt passed away Tuesday and we drove down from MA to NJ Wednesday night and then from NJ to MD for the funeral. I have to be at work tomorrow, so I'm flying back tonight and he's driving back in the late morning … Read More »

A Celebratory 100th Post

Dec. 10, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

I can't believe this crept up on me so fast. I can't believe I've written 100 posts since March... nuts. (Although really, this isn't shocking; the LiveJournal I kept for years amassed almost 1200 entries in about 4 years.) In celebration of this momentous occasion, I've got a … Read More »

Called me out.

Dec. 7, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

So I'm behind a few days worth of posts, but it's been an interesting few days. Larry and I (again) had another long discussion (read: late-night argument) about this rock and a hard place location I'm in where I need to find a job that actually stimulates and fulfills me but has … Read More »

Makin’ a list and checking it twice.

Dec. 4, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

So, if we want to get this "having a baby" party started, I'll need to have a few things in order. It is astounding everything we need to consider in the grand scope of things. And when I look back on it? I want to throttle my high school health teacher for spreading this notion … Read More »

Show & Tell 5: My Desktop Toucan

Dec. 3, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

This is my desktop toucan. In my head, I call him Toucan Sam. Original, right?He sits just under my computer monitor. I get a strange delight looking at him every day. If he went missing from my desk, I'd be pissed, and then very, very sad. I love this little guy. I don't keep a … Read More »

Is the chalice is half empty or half full?

Nov. 20, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

Allow me to indulge in a little tarot and my inner Goddess. This past Monday I went to the Salem Red Tent Temple. I've been a few times, and a good friend of mine (let's call her Honeybee) is one of the organizers. The concept is simple: mirror the ancient practice of women … Read More »

A follow up to my last post, Call me a Bitter Bettie.On the Inspire.com RESOLVE boards, someone posted almost the exact same lament I had about Facebook status updates on Monday. There were 75 replies at last count to this discussion, so it's comforting to know there are a lot of … Read More »
