God has truly blessed me.
By shrouding me in a veil of fog making me immune to the horror that is moving.
I’m just calm as a cucumber, man. Nothing has phased me.
Moe was my lead mover. Honestly, as soon as I saw “Moe” stitched on his coveralls, I was like k this is going to be fine my man, Moe, is in charge. Things with Moe just kept getting better and better, truly. Soon enough he was sharing tales from yesteryear and calling me Becky, Becca or Rebecca (when he was feeling formal). I didn’t have the heart to correct him. Even when Moe and his crew broke a bookshelf and took extra long smoke breaks, I didn’t get riled up. Just rolling with the punches, babay!
Now someone punch me in the face because I never want to do this again.

I once punched a removals man in the face. It was needed. Perhaps if someone had actually punched ME that day I would have resisted ever moving again. Your wisdom just shines Rebachel 🙂

Every year, a guys calls into the shop and calls me “Patrick”… I don’t have the heart to correct him. Some insist in calling me Francois or even Francis which tends to irritate me ( it’s Fran ck, c’mon, that’s it!). I love your recipe, I might to something along those lines today. 🙂 Yours kindly, Michael 😀 😀 😀

Right?! I just have to roll with the punches. When he did correct himself, I’d say, “Oh, I’ll answer to anything!” I hate confrontation.
