Sleep: one of my favorite things

And I now have a new futon to facilitate a good night's sleep.  The church was kind enough to loan me one of their futons until I could buy me own, but it was a bit old and worn out.  My new one is super amazing, though.  I think my friend who helped me buy it thought I was a bit crazy for not getting something a bit cheaper, but if i'm to sleep on it for any length of time, i want something nice.  So, extra thick, 100% cotton sheets and under futon and a down upper futon.

It was all quite large, so I had it delivered after work one day, and I was terrified that they would get to the apartment before I got home and then would refuse to come back to deliver it.  As it turned out, they had gotten there before I got home, but I called them and they came back. 

Now, I don't know if they were planning to come back anyway, but I was really proud of myself for calling them and communicating in Japanese on the phone (talking on the phone is harder then talking in person in any L2), and being understood.  Go me!

Here's everything as it arrived:

Here we have the under futon.  Note how nice and thick it is.


 This is the over futon/comforter (I don't really know what to call it).  It's actually 2 smaller comforters which can be fastened together in winter or taken apart when it's warmer and you don't need such a big blanket.  which is quite handy.

And here it is all together.  Not that it's usually laid out like this during the day.  Normally it's folded up and put out of the way.

Also, I love sleeping on it!  I can't feel the floor at all!  Makes me very happy.
