I felt so good not having a headache last night that in addition to the other things I did, I gave myself a haircut and practiced a bit over an hour on the flute.
My big problem with the flute is consistently holding the thing. When I get it right, I get a great sound. The actual blowing is going really well, as I'm also doing breathing exercises and there's the experience from trumpet.
The only solution I can think of is: More practice.
I woke up with a headache though, having stayed awake practicing until 7AM and waking up at 2. Staying in bed a bit longer only made it worse. I finally got up at 3 and had coffee and aspirin for breakfast.
Eventually a followed up the coffee with a sugar-free Lipovitan and my headache had subsided enough to work, and I packed a dozen small things I could take to the post office without needing the bike trailer.
Drop-offs went without a hitch and I went to the Pho place across the street and got a bowl of Pho. There's no large and small at this place, and the price on the menu was $13. It was quite good, the equivalent of a "large" at Pho Bel Air, and my headache was gone by now; certainly the soup helped.
I've lost my "explainer" (long bolt turned into a sort of billy club) so I'll have to obtain another long bolt from the electric lighting place when they throw some out, and make another. I probably just plain left the thing somewhere.
I stopped at H Mart on the way back and got a package of "fresh" ramen to prepare, and a little package of chocolate cookies which I had with coffee when I got back.
I guess I'll have to assume I might not be all that functional when I first wake up, so I'll have to do a lot more in the evenings and just count on an hour or two not being able to do much when I start my day.
