Sorry you have been unwell, kidney infections, not pleasant at all, @outlander. Hoping it shifts fast with the antibiotics. I know the feeling too of illness affecting our sleep. That makes everything tougher too. Hugs.
Past couple of days I've been very tired and sleeping most of the day. But I did have a very late night a couple back when I didn't sleep until about 4am, was doing video making. That was great and I needed to have the quiet in the night to do the sound editing. But I've been paying the price past couple of days. Have started a new video, just as I finished the last one. I like it when I'm on a roll.
Have you been finding energy for your art lately? I noticed the new artwork for Niqua's avatar, cool. In my lifelong journey with physical and mental illness, I've really found creative interest to be a great lifeline through things, a bright star in dark skies at times. 
it started off a cramp not now! @Mazarita bloody hell. this is the second dose of antibiotics im on ive got to go back to get more test results on monday. i think im jsut starting to come abit better then it crashes again. will get there eventually
oh you make movies? do you mind if i ask what sort of movies you make?
hmm not really ive drawn a tiger the other day, ill find a pic for you. i think its one of my best yet. still could be better but i think ive improved abit in the drawing. and yes your right it can often be just that little bit of light we need.
@outlander, I've been making short experimental films since I was 22, @outlander. They have sometimes been described as 'dreamlike'. Sometimes I make little animations. The ones I do at the moment are usually only a couple of minutes long. I wish I could share them here on the forum but it would identify me. But there are one or two simple ones I made a couple of years ago under an anonymous account and name that I can share here. They are based on poems by @PeppiPatty that she posted on the forum at that time. https://youtu.be/r-8M4N6iXOk
Creativity has been one of the main threads in my life really. Sometimes I even say it is my longest and best relationship, lol. I'd like to encourage your creativity too.
Sunsets make for beautiful colours, @outlander. Have you ever tried collage? I did it recently at an art group I go to and it was a lot of fun. They had a whole lot of old magazines with pictures that we cut out and pasted on a big white sheet. There were some really cool ones in the end. Sometimes I just do colouring in, which I find a really good, calming, mindfulness exercise. Easier to motivate that mindfulness because I'm doing something with colour and exercising my hands and creative energies.
