Oh man, I guess I deserved that one! Great to see you’re back in. My spam blocker was to blame for the comments issue. Working on a better solution, but great to see you back in here!

That means I couldn’t access and study with the website for the last 2 months since I was super busy moving and refurbishing my new suit. Anyway, I am pretty happy to listen to You again, Jeff. 🙂

You use locked out when you’re outside and you can’t get in. However, you can use “locked in” as the opposite. You were “locked in your house” metaphorically if you couldn’t leave. Another expression you can use is “cooped up.”
