Well, now that we are not moving to Naples, we had to find an accomodation that will be ideal for mom, in respect to her work. So off we went today to Bradenton; to look up a place that was suitable. We found a tiny 2-bedroom apartment located in a decent area just 5 minutes away from her clinic on foot. The rent is $925, exclusive of utilities such as water and electricity. A little pricey, but considering the convienience to mom, we decided to go with it and filled out some papers.
Now, the flipside is, my new job is located at the other end of sarasota, about 15-16 k.m from the new place. The buses don't start until 6 am, and it'll take about an hour and a half to get to the job. I have to be there by 7 am sharp everyday, and there's no telling if i'll be able to reach the buses in time or not.
Getting a car is an expensive proposition for me, i'll have to pay about $200 for my insurance, plus $200-250 for petrol, as well as some money for the actual buying as well. a new car on a lease will be anything between 250-300 dollars a month, while a used car will have to be financed. So i'm weighing all the options, and thinking what to do now...

Hey... Congrats on the job. The madness with you guys not knowing where you'll be moving seems to have finally ended, none too soon I might add. Although this problem with commuting to work sounds like a pain for you. Buying a car and then paying for maintainence and insurance is bound to burn a hole in your pocket. I suggest you explore alternative forms of transport. Maybe you should look into buying a horse? That way you'd save the insurance money and hay is cheaper than gasoline anyway.... Think of the publicity it will bring..."The Chef who Rides".... it does have a certain ring to it....
Anyhow... I'll cut the crap... sorry I could not take your call yesterday... was driving from Chd to Delhi and by the time i pulled over to take your call you'd hung up. Hope we can talk again soon. Until then, good luck with the job and hope you can solve your mobility problem without resorting to equestarian means....
