Does Mo have the SWINE?!?!

I regret to inform that Mo is sick. Don't fret yet! I'm fully confident that it's a curable ailment & that my home companion can pull through. Ever since I got back to town yesterday, he's been a bit sluggish when I start him. More like a LOT sluggish. He gave me scare, but I got him in for a quick check up at what is comparable to an immediate care place for humans. My first thought was that his battery was failing him in old age, but apparently his battery is fairly new & in good condition. His starter, on the other hand, may have seen better days. Of course, this is all from the mouths of the "immediate care" place (wal-mart auto center), so we'll see. He has an appointment with his general practioner (an auto repair shop) tomorrow morning. I'm nervous about this appointment for a few reasons:

1) Mo's sick. I want him to be better quickly & cheaply.
2.) This is my home we're talkign about...I don't know what the hell I'll do for 6 weeks if I'm really homeless!
3.) I have to drop him off at 7:30am. The car repair man is a sweet old man who's worked on two previous cars of mine in town & offered to drive me the half mile to school. That's cool 7 all, but the ride back after school is still an obstacle. I'll be able to get a ride, I'm sure, but I don't like depending on other people. I get out of school at 4 and have to be dressed & at work by 5. It'll be cutting it close.
4.) How do I explain the bed, closet, and all my belongings to the car guys?? That's a tad bit awkward, but awkwardness comes with the territory.

So, anyway, I'll keep you posted on his condition. Say a quick prayer, cross your fingers, send good vibes, whatever it is you do, send it Mo's way. This needs to be painless on him AND my wallet.

Thanks for sharing an ailing Moment with Mo...
