In TCG Pocket I'm getting the occasional pack with 6 cards. Is this supposed to happen or is it a weird bug? Screenshots of the two packs I opened this morning.

Paying £12 a month for Spotify and I mostly just play this for 8 hours a day to help me focus on work.
(I also have running playlists but I now align most of my runs with other people and don't need any music if I'm chatting)

For context this is my journey:
Photo 1 is after my first couch-to-5k session. (Black top, June 2018).
Photo 2 is about 4 stone lighter. (Purple top, March 2019).
Photo 3 is me now. (Blue top, May 2025).

This only answers half of your requirements but might be useful - I have similar neuro-spicy sensory needs with underwear and almost exclusively stick with athletic/technical fabrics as they have the least friction/scratchiness in my experience. These are the most recent ones I bought:

Also remembered today that last year along with the inconsistent mood - I also faceplanted the pavement HARD and had to take myself to the first aid tent. Not my best Pride, not my worst.

Last week I did my third marathon in three years. My goal was to get under 4 hours - previous PB being around 4:15.
I trained really carefully this year but on the day the temperature reached 20°c (plus) so it was brutal by the end...
Thankfully with a final push I got to the end in 3:58!

Annual rewatch of The Good Place. Usually watch it around springtime because it makes me feel hopeful and empowered...
But fuck if this line doesn't see down into every inch of my soul 😶

After a very busy week* I've decided to set up a table next to my bed with one of my monitors so I can play Xenoblade X in maximum comfort.
Bloody need a rest day!

As I was about to go to bed I moved to turn off Bob's Burgers (which I've been streaming this evening). However, I realised it was this episode just starting.
The episode which should always get the fullest and most sincere attention.
The episode that makes me feel so much in such little time.

Okay I THINK I've found a suitable replacement. I've bought 6 boxes of sports underwear this week. 3 boxes are decent (photo). 2 boxes are vaguely okay. 1 box is probably going in the bin.
Being unable to try them on or return them makes it very expensive finding the right fit.

As a kid I always laughed when an older character in a film/show said something like "my bones are aching, a storm is coming".
As I get older I realise it's absolutely real. I can tell when the temperature is about to drop based on how red my skin looks and I swear I can *feel* rain on the way.

Marathon training 2025 kicked off today with my Sunday morning group. Long runs in 0°c temperatures are much easier with friends ♥️
