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

Go to a website such as Giphy, and search based on the words that describe your feeling
choose your GIF by clicking on it. When it opens, right click and select 'copy image address'
Paste the image address into the image URL bar that appears when you click 'attach image':

Ah, that's a good one @ren0420 - I am sensing a bit of apprehension about it all, is that right? If so, anything driving that in particular?

How are others feeling now that we are at a different stage in the roadmap? Anyone want to update their GIF or have found things a bit different than expected?

I hear you on that @ren0420 and @Past User can be quite an adjustment particularly when it has been such a long time since things were 'normal'. Hope you are both doing well, how have things been since?

@Riley - I'm with you on this, suddenly my social calendar has exploded and my brain is struggling to keep up to speed with what I am meant to be doing, I wonder if there are some things we can take from lockdown moving forward that may make things better moving forward. For example, should we normalise taking a night off from social things if it feels too much? Am curious about what other things people may want to still be a thing post COVID...

@Past User - Hope things are still feeling positive

What have you enjoyed about having less restrictions?

This will certainly still be me everywhere I go, I've enjoyed not getting a cold/stomach bug in a long time from all the heightened cleanliness in public
