Thursday. Getting better but still not quite there. Woke up before 7am for the second day in a row. Appetite still isn’t quite right, but I’m mostly staying hydrated. Obviously consuming alcohol is not helping the situation at all, but yeah. Just spent more time by the beach. It was...Read More

Wednesday afternoon. Chilling by the pool. Enjoying the view of the Burj Khalifa and the rest of the Dubai skyline. Just got the best news ever and I am over the moon! What is the news, you ask? The news is that I FINALLY got my housing assignment for Hong...Read More

BLOG: Good Morning, Sunshine

Posted on June 11, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday. Finally made it down to breakfast for the first time since I got here a week ago. It’s an endless buffet of amazing dishes from all of the world. Naturally, my appetite is still painfully nonexistent, so I’m sticking with my classic coffee/croissant/fruit combo. What can I say? I...Read More

BLOG: In Da Club

Posted on June 10, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday. Afternoon. Sitting by the pool, allegedly “working” aka writing. Apparently this counts as work, which I’m fine with personally after not being taken seriously by anyone for well over a decade. Actually, yes, I am working. Please respect my space. So last night was pretty crazy. I was once...Read More

BLOG: I Choose Me

Posted on June 9, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Same day as before. Switched from the beach to the pool so I could vibe along to reggae instead of pop dance music blasting from the beach club next door. I can still hear the bumping from the club, but I’m in a spot where the music here is louder....Read More

Monday. Currently sitting on the beach. Finally got a full night of sleep. Slept from 3:30am to noon, so about 8.5 hours. Felt so good to finally get some rest. Maybe I’ll finally start eating right again soon. I was feeling relaxed and relieved, then I got a message from...Read More

BLOG: Chicken or Steak?

Posted on June 8, 2025June 8, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Sunday night. Currently chilling at the resort lounge, listening to the live music, writing, and waiting for dinner to arrive. I ordered steak frites and they brought me ketchup (the horror! 😱), then they told me they were out, so I got chicken instead. Sigh. I’ve been craving steak frites...Read More

BLOG: Dumped in Dubai

Posted on June 7, 2025June 8, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Currently sitting at a luxury hotel lounge in Dubai. It’s fabulous! I love it. I’ve been lounging here the whole night long, reading on my iPad, thinking about my writing, reflecting on life. And the best part? NOBODY FUCKING BOTHERED ME ABOUT ANY OF IT! Ugh. Ask me how much...Read More
