Assuming the airlines are flying I leave tomorrow. I still need to pack my own things. Assuming the airport is open in Port-au-Prince, I arrive on Wednesday morning. I haven’t been able to sleep well for the last few days. When I made up my mind that I’d just stay home, the sleep came easily.

It sounds like the situation has stabilized for the time being, although this is something about myself that I don’t understand. The rioting has stopped, people are still starving. Why do I feel easier?
