We are in state of Suspense...

 

...and but which type of suspense is the question.   

Geographical: Are we Marylanders, or Ohioians?

Hitchcockian: In this genre, we feel that everything is OK on the surface that we see, but the undercurrent is rife with things that could go wrong, have gone wrong, or we are about to confront what is about to go wrong, but of course, it predicated on murder, international intrigue, or finding that Shirley McClain has buried an ex-husband on the property.

Marionette: In this genre, we are subjected to the whims of those people and institutions pulling our strings - a reality not of our own volition.  The buyer's mortgage company plays a tune for documentation and we dance.  The seller's agent plays a little tune and we dance.  No fun. No one is dancing for us.

Enforcement: The house we are buying will be ours, yet we owe The municipality certain "fixes" and worse still, they want the cost of fixes held in an escrow account, but we need those monies to pay the contractors. 

Datewise: We are far enough from the move that we can't really pack personal stuff because we are still using it, but we are close to moving and it is gnawing and clawing at our very souls. 

Accounting: We are neither homeowners having sold our house, nor are we homeowners because we haven't closed on the new one.  So we feel as if we are the ACH that has arrived at the credit union today, but we can't post to the member accounts until tomorrow.

Are 'ians, 'ers, or 'ites?: Are we Baltimorians, or are we Clevelanders? Or are we ex-pat Columbusites?

Are we: Befuddled, Bemused or Besotted?

Finally, should I keep Doing Hard Time in Shaker Heights going, or should I create a blog anew?

See?  No fun.
