Comment	I didn't realise quite how much I was suppressing feelings about this whole thing when last night out of nowhere I had a rant about how my life has never been 'back to normal' at any stage since March. I'm a dancer and committee member of a local non-profit group. I'm normally out 1-2 times a week and regularly attend weekend trips away to dance workshops. At no point, under ANY of the proposed frameworks we've had, could any of my usual dancing activities be held. There is also no real provision to do this even if we get to a 'life until get the vaccine' stage. I think it's absolutely right we do need to stop such risky activities at this time, but it's incredibly frustrating that for some people, life did become more normal, whilst for me it hasn't. In addition, I play D&D. Again, we haven't been able to play indoors during any of the frameworks put in place. We are online so at least this can happen, but again still no return to normality anytime soon. Our full party hasn't been together since March. I've been working from home since March. Now it's dark when I finish work, and there is nowhere for me to go after work to let off some steam. On the plus side, I've ended up completing a beginners sewing course and trying to make my way into beginner's dressmaking which is something I've fancied for a while and I've never exercised so much in my life. Hopefully I can at least get a Christmas with my parents (a far cry from the 15-20+ people we usually have for Christmas).
