Well it happened. I heard from Herr Mueller-Lang and had to tell him that I am not coming to the apartment this summer. I am so sad and really do not know how to deal with it yet. I have been in that apartment every summer since 2010 and since 2017 every summer for 2 months. I spend more time there than most people here spend at their shore houses. Now I can't go. Maybe I can go for a little while in September or October - who knows.
I know that I am being a douche. Most people wish they had such problems. Most people are not riding this out like I am. I understand that but the truth is we all feel the most sorry for ourselves. It is ridiculous that I am writing this. I am fine and will continue to be fine. If I can not spend months in Europe this year I am sure the whole world will be crying for me. Sorry.
