These echo my own experience. 48 hours after my second shot, my arm had passed soreness into actual (not severe) pain, but it subsided thereafter. I was happy. The happiness of the vaccinated is palpable. The odd thing for me is that after a year, my knee jerk reaction to slightly dicey situations remains one of aversion and worry. I haven’t dialed it down yet. Obviously my behavior won’t alter in the immediate future.

Same here. Right after I got the 2nd jab I was absolutely euphoric - I wasn't going to die a horrible death! I could go out of the house and back inside stores. But I was still afraid to do anything outside of my 'safe' routine that had kept me alive so far. I finally decided to get a haircut because my stylist was also vaccinated, and the salon had very good covid precautions - we were the only people inside during my appointment.
And I remembered the variants ... which the current vaccines are "supposed" to be effective against. And I truly don't anticipate any major changes in my routine yet.
