Glad you have some things you can look ahead to--your dinner sounds fab. You are a good caregiver to plan ahead and be prepared as you are. So good that you could get some extra sleep and baby yourself, take care of you, for you! Sleep can be very restorative. Yes, some of us sleep to escape life when we are depressed, but you surely need this to restore your energy with all the current stressors in your life.

Some things that might help, in lieu of theapy, are mindfulness meditation and Burns, "Feeling Good Handbook". The pdoc I saw in the hospital, who was excellent, recommended them to me to help myself deal with depression. Ypou miight google & see if you can find something online on the mindfulness and amazon.com might have the book. Sometimes you can get used books on there for $4 including the shipping!
