Wind / rain storm + leaky roof
For those of you in the NW, unless you've been hiding under a rock you probably know about the wind and rain storm we've been having.

PRESSURE
Woke up this morning feeling extremely groggy. Despite morning routine, breakfast, driving to work, etc. I never really felt awake until roughly two hours after I awoke, and had a cup of coffee in me ( Read more... )
