Sana'a encore

Back in Sana'a and at the Sheraton with a really nasty cold. I've been in my room for 24 hours now - just one brief excursion to the coffee shop for breakfast. They brought me a nice mix of mint tea and black tea - so I had some along with the fruit salad. I think I'll have some soup later and that should do it for me. Don't want to gain back the weight due to boredom/sickness eating.

It is good to have a tv when sick - I can have some noise in the background without having to think too much.

The shooting and death in Sana'a continues - I made the mistake of watching a video posted by Greg Johnson and now have images of brain on the street...this one guy's head was blown apart, and his brain appears to have fallen out - rather disturbing and not good to realize that this is happening just a few miles away from here.

I want the killing to stop - I want it to be as it was a few days ago - I don't know when it will be that way again - the last two weekends I was able to get out and about a bit - this weekend we are all shut down and reasonably so. But I don't like it at all - regardless of my wanting to go away for a long weekend in Dubai in two weeks - I just don't like Sana'a streets turned red due to fighting between the 1AD and the RG.

And I don't like this cold in my head.
