@xvz: Sounds good to me!
Would you like me to add the items to the trade ahead of time at least? And then I can add the volts once we get the commission going.

@xvz: Of course! 
And thank you so much! I'll probably only be able to afford one at the moment though.
I was thinking 25k for the base price and the additional 15k would bring the price to about 40k. The price guide hasn't been updated for awhile, so I just took the middle price for everything and the items total about 5k. Meaning I'd owe you another 35k.
I'm totally okay with paying that much as long as it sounds like a good enough offer to you. I just have to decide who I want done first, lol.

@ghostie: First I want to say... I totally get where you're coming from. Although *knocks wood * I haven't recently been having as many health problems as you are having right now, your fear is totally valid and I'm right there with you. Especially since you had a terrible experience in the past.
But that's the thing with our anxiety, it makes us think the worst of every situation, especially where our health is concerned. And especially when you have an experience like you did. I've literally had panic attacks thinking I would die if I accidentally ate something that had a tiny bit of mold and not knowing it was there. So believe me when I say... you are not alone with your feelings.
My mom has had 2 strokes in the past. One in 2011 and one in 2015. I can't remember exactly what caused the first one, but until that point in her life she had been a long time smoker, which I defintely think contributed to it. And the second was because she stopped taking her medication. And she's always had low blood pressure. So I think as far as strokes go, you should be fine. It doesn't hurt to keep an eye on things and be aware, but I'm just saying I don't think high BP alone would cause you to have one.
Now, I'm not a doctor but but I think anxiety can raise blood pressure as well? So it's not totally your fault. I mean, weight gain doesn't really help that's for sure. But that's not the only factor in your BP. And I'm not in any position to lecture anyone about health. I've gained about 45 to 50 pounds in probably the last year or two myself and haven't been able to get back on track with losing.
I'm obese, according to my BMI and I overheat really easily, but my blood pressure for the most part is pretty normal.
*knocks wood * And I'm almost sure it's hereditary. So if you have any family members who suffer from high BP, that could also be a contributing factor.
Besides that, you're doing the right thing by cutting back on fast food and attempting to move more often. So nobody can fault you for that. In fact you should be really proud of yourself. Because even baby steps in the right direction is very helpful in the long run.
In my case, every anti-anxiety medication I've tried has done absolutely nothing for me. I'm not saying this will be the case for you, but in my experience, I haven't found a working one yet. And I've been on 5 different medications thus far. I've also not gotten much out of therapy. But then again, I haven't had the greatest experience there either. My first therapist was not a good fit for me at all, she didn't respect my limits and pushed me way too far way too fast. My second therapist was amazing, but she was only an intern and once her internship was up, she moved to a different office and couldn't accept y insurance. My third and current therapist seems pretty good, but I've only seen her in person about 3 or 4 times. First she went on maternity leave, and then with COVID, I've only been able to do zoom sessions. And most of them were either related to my grief of losing my other cats, or COVID related fears. So I haven't been able to work on my Generalized Anxiety or Social Anxiety very much with her.
As far as COVID goes, I'm experiencing anxiety related to that as well. But for me, I'm not as worried about the virus as I am these darned masks. I haven't gone out much at all lately either, but that's because masks ARE mandated anytime you leave your house in my state.
If I do go out, I try to keep my trips under 10 minutes, or 15 at the absolute maximum. Otherwise, I start having a panic attack, thinking I'm going to pass out and suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen. I already have breathing issues so being forced to wear a mask makes it nearly impossible for me to breathe. I've tried thin silky-like cloth masks and the normal surgical masks and it makes no difference for me. They're both hard for me to breathe in and any time I'm out, I'm just counting down the minutes till I can finish up and finally get my mask off.
I still have difficulties finding ways to manage my anxiety, so I can't really give you much help there. If you like the scent of lavender at all, either get some essential oil, lavender scented lotion, soap, or burn a lavender scented candle or incense? It's not a cure-all, but it defintely helps for relief of anxiety in the moment. Or if you like taking baths, maybe you could try some bath bombs? Again not a cure all, but for nearly instant relief for a good few hours or so, that has worked wonders for me. Especially if I do so before bed. It helps me actually fall asleep and stay asleep. There are other scents in aroma therapy that help with anxiety too, but my favorite by far is lavender.

@0v7: I just now noticed this! I know I'm super late to the party.
But welcome to Voltra!!! And we have more than one thing in common!!!
Obviously, cats is one of them. :vanora_xd:
But I too am interested in witchcraft. Although in my case, I'm Wiccan, and haven't actually cast any spells yet

@0v7: That's what I do. Look away from them when they're doing the bad thing. And usually just pick them off and put them down elsewhere away from it.

@xvz: Ahh! So happy to hear that. Your art is absolutely amazing and it would be an honor to have some of your art.
And actually, I was leaning towards a colored bust. )Possibly painted???)
There was a specific sample of yours that I was really drawn to, but I couldn't figure out if it was just flat colored or painted. So if you could let me know, that would be extremely helpful.

I'm also having trouble deciding what character I would like drawn. Since I'm an (aspiring) writer I have a lot, so it make take me a little while to pick.

@saeyra:But yes! They are indeed super huggable!!! (I forgot to add to this my other reply to you. Oops.)
@0v7: Haha, they really do have the big eyes like you described. It makes it so hard even impossible to discipline them when necessary. So as long as it's nothing that's gonna hurt them (like chewing on plugged in cords) they get away with a lot. xD
@siron: Oh my goodness! Yes. :vanora_xd: I actually sent the message she wrote to my friend. Lol. She doesn't mind so I thought "meh, might as well send it."
@Keo: Thank you so much! And yes, he is! They're both Maine Coon x Snow Shoe mixes, but Loki got the Maine Coon coat for sure. His hair is not only long, but super fluffy and soft too! 
@xvz: Thank you so much! And it's my pleasure. I'm so in love and just have to show them off. To like everyone. If you happened to live near me, I'd totally invite you to play with them. While they do love their toys, they also love hands and feet.
@ghostie: Thank you so much! Oddly enough, they were an "oops" litter since their parents' owners didn't intend to breed them, so they weren't nearly as expensive as they could have been. But I don't consider them an accident at all. I just believe it was meant to be.
And aww, Lucipurr is honestly such a cute name!

@merynia: You
@kda drew: So
@saeyra: Much!
@priestess of pie: Ahh! Thank you so much. I've already started spoiling them rotten. Lol. So I can assure you that they defintely will be.
@crystalkitsune85: Aww. So sorry that kittens won't work out as part of your current family unit. But dogs and parakeets make great companions too! I'd be happy to satisfy your want by posting more pictures if you'd like. Haha.
@star2000shadow: Russian Blues are absolutely adorable as well. I've never had one, but I love all kitties. And spoiled kitties are the best to be honest. xD
