BLOG: Meltdown Mode

Posted on June 17, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday. I am a mess. I was planning to leave in 30 minutes, but that is not happening now. I had a full-on meltdown this morning when I should have been cleaning and getting ready. Now I am way behind schedule. I only just now got a coffee and it’s...Read More

BLOG: And The Balls Win Again

Posted on June 16, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday evening. Against my better judgment, I decided to brave the rain and venture up to the Mid-Levels for the Quiz Night I was invited to. The person who invited me is not here. So now I am sitting here at the bar all alone, watching everyone else play trivia,...Read More

BLOG: I Am Free!

Posted on June 16, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday. Here I am, downstairs at the deli around the corner. It’s raining cats and dogs here in Hong Kong this week. Can’t wait for my journey to Macao tomorrow through the choppy waves of the treacherous, stormy seas. I decided to book myself a significantly discounted luxury hotel room...Read More

Posted on June 12, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Saturday. I am at the brunch spot again. I don’t know why I’m here. There’s construction across the way and it’s really, really loud. I guess I am here because they do a good Bloody Mary. It’s not quite right but it is what it is. Last night I decided...Read More

Friday. Here we are at the Brunch Spot. I promise I will fix all of these dumb placeholder names in the final version. I don’t have my vintage book of baby names with me, which I use to help me come up with new ones. Yes, I know, I could...Read More

BLOG: Train to Somewhere

Posted on June 10, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. Sitting in the coffee shop. The vibe in my world today is very “Now What?” Now what, indeed. Okay, I’ve been gone for exactly one year now. I gone on a crazy adventure and spent most of my money. I do have the makings for a decent book manuscript,...Read More

BLOG: Failure, but with Style & Confidence!

Posted on June 10, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday. Here we are. How did my job thing go today? Oh, it didn’t. Why? The usual, well-documented reason. I freaked out, had an anxiety attack, started crying, went into full meltdown mode, and then locked myself in my room and shut off my phone. Sadly, this is normal for...Read More

BLOG: The Longest Movie Ever

Posted on June 9, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday. I have a job interview today and I don’t want to stress about it, so I am going to talk about something else instead. That something else is the film “Lawrence of Arabia,” which is a journey I went on yesterday in an attempt not to freak out. Let’s...Read More

Monday. 2:30am. We are having thunderstorms here in HK. The thunder is very loud and the Lightning is very bright. It keeps me awake at night. Luckily, I napped a lot today during the rain, so it’s okay. So much to recount from this weekend. It was a lot. Friday...Read More
