Day 3,274 —Slow Moving Train—

The mystery of the phrase "out-of-pocket" meaning "out-of-control" comes to an end after I could not find it referenced in the Oxford English Dictionary. However, I was able to find a few articles that reference it as a type of "slang" used by young people. The article I found suggested that it has started reappearing in the past 5-10 years. I also spoke with a handful of high school-aged students who confirmed with me that they have heard it used and/or used it themselves. So, I was kind of let down to realize that it is slang that I might have picked up from my students over the past few years.

Still no baby, but each day the moment gets closer. And then, I will start living in a world where I have a new person to love.
