I should call this post "Dixie to the rescue".
I told Dixie yesterday that I was depressed. I was amazed when she told me that she also felt depressed sometimes. She is such a strong woman in spite of her too frail heart!
Last night she messaged me. Humberto was going asailing and she had lots of focaccia that she had bought for a party for her nephew that was going to Australia to live.
She was inviting to me for leftovers.
She said that I could stay until "forever" if I wished.
So now I´ll call her again. I´ll try to understand what did she mean by "until forever" as she was half asleep when she wrote. I do know that she has the visit of a friend that does not live here. Does it mean that she will use "my" bed?
How many pills will I have to take? And how many underpants?
If I could stay there for a few days, I could go to a couple of doctors. I could go to a neurologist for my trembling hands and other neurological problems. I know that part of my leg problems have to do with nerves and not with traumas.
I´ll go for breakfast and then I´ll call Dixie. I haven´t even made my suitcase or called someone to check on Luna.
See you later.

@MarieCoyle I feel more at home in their house than in the house of any of my own family.

Everything is taken care of and I´m now at Dixie´s. She is the best adopted sister anybody could have.

I have one of those adopted sisters. We have been good friends for many years. My home is always open to her and when I go there I am always welcomed and urged to stay as long as I can. I don’t know what I would do without her!

How are you today? I hope you stay with her for several days. Get to those doctors and hopefully feel better. Maybe you should make this an ongoing plan. Staying with her more often. That might help your depression.
I love those cute little bugs.

@marguicha ......I have had major depression most of my life. Even if you found a good anti-depressant they don't take the entire depression away. They help balance you out and help a little. Some more than others. With spring coming on the sun may be of a lot of help to you. Try to stay active or at least try to accomplish something each day. Be in contact with others and take steps to take good care of yourself. With all the unrest in the world right now I think it is hard not to be depressed. Try also to not think about depression. Getting too low and bummed out over being depressed can just take you further down.
I wish you well. I know how bad it can get. But, I also know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Dixie says that I night think of going to a doctor for my depression. But I don´t believe in anti depression pills.

I am sure about it. Having lunch with Dixie was a lot better than being alone at home.

I will check if I can go to a doctor from here. It is easier to do some errands while I´m here as my house is very far from everywhere.

@Happy2BeMe I couldn´t open the hospital page today. I don´t know if it is because it is Sunday.

You will need to make arrangements for Luna if you are away for too long. It's good of Dixie to offer to have you 'forever'.
