下午在綿綿細雨中驅車上陽明山，不自覺地哼起Carpenters兄妹非常雋永的一首老歌：Rainy days and Mondays always get me down！沒錯，今天不僅是下雨天，也是星期一，十分適合這首歌！
國中時期就非常喜歡這首歌，事實上所有Carpenters的歌Helen都喜歡！多年來，只要碰到下雨天，不見得是星期一，Helen都常想起這首歌！
下雨的星期一真的會讓人憂鬱些嗎？Helen不是很確定！下雨天總讓人的心情感到陰霾，尤其是行動上的不方便，不管是步行或開車都比平常多些危險，讓人多了幾分拘束！至於星期一呢？哈哈！對上班族而言代表還要上漫長的四天班，心情的沉重可想而知！
不過，今天Helen不憂鬱，只是頭疼得很厲害，這樣的情景也挺適合哼唱Rainy days and Mondays的！Helen的頭痛是TYLENOL或BUFFERIN應付不了的，要吃神經內科醫生特別開的藥，那是一種改善腦血管的藥！
可以預見接下來的幾天，Helen的生產力不會太高！沒辦法，當它（頭疼）來訪時，不是 一兩 天就能請它走的！不過Helen不是太擔心，上次檢查時醫生說沒有長腦瘤！所以就等它鬧夠了，自然會走！
也許多聽聽Carpenters的音樂吧！那優美的旋律和迷人的合聲，也許可以降低頭疼的干擾！
P.S. 1. 雖然右邊整個腦袋像是被人用鐵鎚猛揍過，竟然很想將這感覺用ATC記錄下來，給自己紀念！現在覺得ATC真是個好東西，容易上手又好收藏，當書籤也不賴，真是太方便了！這張ATC運用「粉蠟筆與Gesso 混合刷色」技法，印章圖案出自Stampin’ Up。滴上好幾滴Diamond Glaze，製造雨滴的效果，不知大家看的出來嗎？
2. 若妳不知道Rainy days and Mondays，真是好可惜喔！歡迎點選以下影音檔懷舊一下！另，歌詞在下方：
要保重哦! 多休息
ReplyDelete頭痛這毛病...痛起來真是..... ( 我感同身受...自己也是常這樣)
[版主回覆05/20/2008 23:53:57]我會的 謝謝 妳也是喔
Hm...? Helen, did you have migraine back in high school and college? I don't recall you were plagued by it. Was I oblivious to your condition back then or I'm just being forgetful?
ReplyDeleteWe have a chilly raining Monday too. Therefore, instead of jogging outside, I just jogged around the living room in a circle over and over like a lab rat (with my favorite rock music on - slow music will put me to sleep). It helped boosting my spirit as the physical pain from jogging overrides the mental pain of human emotions.
I'll participate the reunion Blog when I have something relevant to say! He he ...
Take care and get well soon!
Cecily
[版主回覆05/20/2008 23:50:06]No, mine is not migraine, it's called "status", not as notorious as migraine. The doctor suspects that it was caused by some antihistamine medications that I take to alleviate my nose allergy problem.
My nose allergy problem has been worsening since the beginning of the year, so I take antihistamine medications on a daily basis. So here comes the "status" again.
You must have a really health condition, at least very strong knees to maintain jogging as a habit! Really envy you!
I'll take care! Thanks!
闊別30年 台北開會與你重逢
ReplyDelete你的眼神 笑容 依然是當年甜甜的模樣
我們談起女兒 心頭一樣溫暖甜蜜
你在讓班貼的美麗的卡片 讓我一路追到 stamp fairy
Guess you pass your genes to your daughter, that explains her gift for design.
I enjoy your cards and all the articles---they kept me up all night, and I'm so touched by your beautiful words and beautiful mind.
Glad to get to know you again!
from Meilin
[版主回覆05/20/2008 23:37:14]What a wonderful surprise! Thanks for visiting here and taking time to leave notes to encourage me! I feel so touched and grateful!
I know you're a good writer! Hope someday I have the honor to read them and get to know you more!
妳仍保有高中時的纖細和氣質 很高興將來每個月都可以見面
By the way, I like the Carpenters and Rainy Days and Mondays too too too.
ReplyDeleteTake care,

[版主回覆05/20/2008 23:38:46]Glad we have same taste in music too!
I will take care and so do you!
Helen 乖～～～多保重唷！
ReplyDelete[版主回覆05/20/2008 23:27:16]謝謝 我會的
哇~~
ReplyDelete又是可愛的小鳥卡!!
這個技法刷起來感覺真的很像微微的下雨天呢~~
好有詩意哦....
老師:身體要好好保重哦~~
Carpenters兄妹的歌是永恆的代表...經典中的經典啊!!
[版主回覆05/20/2008 23:10:38]謝謝Penny
看來我們在音樂上也沒代溝 太好了
每當天氣驟變，氣壓不穩定的時候，我也常會突然頭痛到吃藥都沒效，只想去撞牆 ............
ReplyDelete聽聽音樂是不錯的舒緩，能生出這張看似Blue卻也清新無比的ATC，就太神奇了！
ps. 我的頭痛朋友來訪時，我真的只有一個念頭：拿頭去撞牆，其它的就顧不了............
[版主回覆05/20/2008 23:09:37]唉呀 千萬別撞頭 那不是以暴制暴嗎
原來除了一樣愛做卡片 還有一樣的問題 那就有伴了
妳也多保重喔 下次頭疼時也可考慮做張ATC喔
請多保重啊...^^
ReplyDelete喜歡您的卡片您的創意...
[版主回覆05/20/2008 23:06:49]謝謝
我會的
好的！有妳的鼓勵，下次我會試試做卡片轉移注意力的！
ReplyDelete[版主回覆05/21/2008 22:35:36]太好了 試試看喔 不過不要給自己太大壓力
頭痛真的是要人命, 當我頭痛時女兒都會說: 不要去吵媽咪!
ReplyDelete體質的改善及增強免疫力才是根本治療法,
多保重
[版主回覆05/21/2008 22:34:40]謝謝
我會多留意
哇...老歌啦~~~人家不熟的歌~還好有歌詞~老歌真的除了旋律美之外~歌詞也都有氣質多了~常常上課讓國中生自己放音樂~有的聽了我都好想砸音響~不過我最常跟國中生互飆電音ㄋㄟ~比賽誰的MP3裡頭的電音最吵~呵呵呵~我算是一個無聊的老師喔~連這都要跟小朋友一起拼比賽~~~呵呵呵~因為這樣好好玩~~~頭痛不是病痛起來真要命喔~這我就真的無解了啦~我只有先前寫不出論文畫不出圖時會莫名的頭痛到想要把頭砍下來扔掉~現在就不太會了~希望姐姐有找出病因呀~中醫也去看看吧~有的老師都會跟我說~西醫看不好的去換中醫試試看~中醫會治本但是療程較久要有耐心~我想也是~我的右手就很會報天氣了ㄋㄟ~這幾天天氣穩多了~我的右手就乖多了ㄋㄟ~~~
ReplyDelete[版主回覆05/26/2008 09:20:18]哈哈 這首歌被歸類為"老歌"有點委屈 Helen覺得它是"經典歌"喔
妳的學生一定很愛妳 能和孩子沒距離的老師 不容易啊
希望妳的右手不是職業病 還這麼年輕說
多保重 不要太勞累了 (不過這句話年輕人是聽不進去了 即使是有點年紀的我也常是用盡力氣還撐著不肯睡 就想多最點事)
