It is amazing what you can find on the Internet, who knew that "Out of Pocket" has such a wide variety of meanings. 

Sadly there are time when I am out of control and in need of a good hard slap or possibly a butt-kicking ( I will say that I took some editorial liberties and chose a different albeit not as colorful substitution in definition 1.) 

Also there are many more time when I find myself paying (and paying and paying) for many things out of my own pocket as well.

But the correct answer is #2. 

I will be out of pocket for the next few days. I hope to be able to check in periodically, however as John Lennon once wrote:

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
John Lennon, "Beautiful Boy"
English singer & songwriter (1940 - 1980)

The next question should be; 2. What should I or could I have done differently today or this week? This falls under the category of a good thing and bad ting.  The new season of Lost in Space comes out this week. I LOVED that show when I was growing up!!! Sadly, I have totally forgot what happen last season so  am having to rewatch several of the previous episodes so I can catch up. This happens quite frequently.  Also, Diana Gabaldon has just published the next instalment to her Outlander series.  I have to (again) re-

She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day.
