Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Ultrasound on Friday showed I might have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, also known as Stein-Leventhal Syndrome. I am worried! Looking at some information, I found:

• Womens Health faq from US federal government
• Southern Cross Medical Fact Sheet.
• Family Doctor patient guide.

I'll be doing follow up posts on this.

Saturday with Pluto

Busy day, yesterday. I planned to go to the Chinese sports day and Balloons over Waikato. Going into the stadium alone was daunting, but I could freely wander around the venue . The event was well underway, with the tug of war in progress when I got there. I found Ruth - she was busy volunteering. Hester and co. arrived later. (I wasn't the only one late!)

Richard, Linda and I went to the Balloons over Waikato after dinner. Two of us got bunny ears. This reminded me of Gala Darling's new year celebration ideas. The ears glowed in the dark! Hamiltonians crowded the university grounds. Pluto was the band playing this year. The following link is their official website. The balloon lighting display and fireworks show went before 8.30 PM. Mr. Turtle wasn't in the display. I liked the Happy Birthday Balloon and Lady Bird.

We lighted candles during Earth Hour but still watched tv. I guess we cheated! Towards the end of the night I got sick. It was something I ate.

Earth Hour 2009

Earth Hour kicks off at 8.30PM Saturday 28 March 2009. I will be celebrating among thousands at the Hot Air Balloon Festival at University of Waikato grounds. This year 29 balloons will attend, including the Cake, MR. Bup (looks like a turtle from the photo) and Lucy the Ladybug.

Cull your Applications. Now.

Social network sites allow a limited number of applications for each account. Profiles clog up over time with applications. I recommend removing the ones you no longer use. This gives feedback to developers so they can lift standard and focus on more suitable products. After all, I always feel refreshed by cleaning out my closet!

Suspender on a Sunday Afternoon

Suspenders or braces hold up parts of a garment. Today I am referring to the ones that keeps trousers or skirts from falling off. Traditionally, men wore these with their shirt and pants. Now women wear customisable straps over shorts, skirts and overalls.

Below is a fine example of changing your look with suspenders.

The suspender makes your wardrobe far more flexible. If you've lost weight recently but haven't the time to replace old clothes, just snap on the trusty braces.
