Describe how you are feeling about coming out of lockdown in a GIF

So we are slowly on the road out of the latest lockdown with schools now re-open and also being able to meet one person in public socially. If things go to plan, then we will see step-wise increases in restrictions lifted and I can appreciate this may bring up a whole spectrum of emotions and feelings. Thought it would be useful to have a thread to explore how people are feeling. Have a go at looking for a GIF that represents your current feelings and post below. Do add further GIFs as your feelings change, will be interested to see how things change over a period of time 
Where to find GIFs and how to upload

This feels like me every Monday morning!
I'm sensing a bit of ambivalence/lack of trust in the plan, is that right Laine?
Am with you on this Aidan, has felt like a very long slog this time around. On a side note, I absolutely love that film!

But it's like "bread", "bread roll"
"lock", "lockdown"

A certain dictator around these parks (AKA @Ed_) has no other comeback for a harmless prank other to than to ban the user in question. It's pitiful really but no one should be subject to such cowardly behaviour.
I'll leave petition for you to sign later, 100,000 signatures and it gets discussed in parliament. I hope you can spare some time to leave your name.

What can I say, I have spent a lot of time on the internet in lockdown
Sending support your way @Past User - is there something in particular about the easing of lockdown restrictions that is making you feel this way? We are all here for you

Interesting, is this more a reflection of how long lockdown has been or to do with not being confident with the plan to ease it?

Ah, that sounds really tricky, would the pass mean there were less people in the corridors than when everyone is moving about?

Definitely can relate to the sense of relief in this GIF! What things are you looking forward to doing that we haven't been able to during lockdown?

Seeing family. Haven't seen my dad since Christmas 2019 ( deployment has a part to play in that too)..same as my grandparents
I really miss my family.
I also really miss my brother's fiancee, she's amazing and we talk so much. I really miss seeing her in person.
Also cant wait to go to London and see my brother tbh.
I just really miss family. It's been really hard not to see them.
Seems like you are not too keen on lockdown ending, Liam? 😅

Ah yeah that sounds really exhausting to have gone this long without seeing people that matter to us, really hope you are able to see people that matter to you soon GT
