that`s a good idea about getting a blanket to go around u. i have a blanket that is awesome for such, but kinda forgot about it so didnt mention it. :x its 100x140cm and its acrylic and its SO awesome because it is never cold to the touch so it provides instant warmness. for extra warmth when i go to bed, i spread it out on top of my bigger blanket and it helps A LOT. after being the coldest i`ve ever been yet last night, i think i`m going to start doing that again from now on.

i remember my windows sweated some last year. i dont think that it`s unhealthy, but it is rather annoying, so i wiped them down with paper towels whenever it got to be too much/i wanted to see outside.

i have a proper table that was provided for me with the apartment, so i never sat on the floor until now while using my kotatsu. it`s a fkin pain in the ass....! literally and figuratively. i`m sure you`ve seen them, but if you`d like a nice chair without buying a proper desk, there are legless chairs used for low tables. the backing of them will help your back and you can use them with a kotatsu. there are also lil stool things you can buy, but they`re not really usable with kotatsu.

Did you buy that blanket in Japan? Because it sounds like this is exactly what I'm looking for :D
I have a pretty fluffy and warm blanket, but it's too have to pull around or to put ONTO my bed. I rather sleep on it ^^

I do have a pretty comfy sofa-chair thingie, but something must be wrong. Everyday my knees and expecially my tailbone hurt a little bit more x_X

That's how it pretty much looks like right now (although I took that photo in April ^^; ...)

yeah, i got it last year at FujiGRAND... but i`m sure you can find something similar at any store that has a decent selection of bedding and stuff.

maybe the support is wearing out in the chair..? or the padding...? :[ ive never used such a chair, i just always see them in stores... although i am considering getting a cheap one because sitting on the floor under my kotatsu is a pain even with a zabuton. >_

Me definitely needs to buy something like that SOON! (*____*)

I have no idea x____X
I was googling for "how to sit properly on the floor" but only could find stuff for "normal sitting" on chairs *sigh*
