Moody Monday

I feel exhausted and tired when I wake up today. Maybe because I worked too much yesterday. I have been at war with the house sparrow that is trying to build a nest in the air conditioning unit's hole on my balcony. It gathers fresh plants, including some used ropes, and sticks them into those small holes. When both of them are perched on the AC condenser, they also leave faeces that make my balcony so dirty. I can't let them nest there, so I have been trying to block the hole, and yesterday I tried different materials. Climbing up there on a ladder in a very small space is not as easy as I thought. Bending my body and climbing up and down a few times, taking the materials up, and making sure the hole is properly covered is difficult in that small space. I hope they will not return today, and please do not come back, little bird! This is what this bird looks like.

Share with me how you got rid of this bird from nesting at your house? What did you do to shoo them away? 

After that, I work on mt dying plants as well. Most of my flowers are dying. I think they didn't have enough nutrients because I never change the soil and use less fertiliser. Carrying a heavy vase with soil inside is also making my lower back more painful. I forgot for a while that I have a slipped disc. *Sigh*! There have been no symptoms for a few months now, and I thought it was gone. But last night I slept in pain. 

This is why this morning is not going very well for me. I feel sick. I hope this pain goes away, so my mood has changed for the better.
