Damnit...

So there are a few things I don't like about sleeping through winter nights. The most obvious point is that it gets cold. I mean, that's just plain inconvenient. The next is that damn annoying thumping sound coming from the ceiling. I think it has something to do with how materials expand in cold temperatures. But I don't care about the science right now. I'm just getting really annoyed. It's like having someone jump on your roof at varying intensities every few minutes. Leave me alone!
