Warm and Snuggly

I am always very cold and, with winter approaching, I've been worrying about how to stay warm while sleeping in our partially heated/unheated apartment.  Apparently, Japan has the answer.  A yutanpo!  These are little (or big) hot water bottles in a flat stone shape that usually come with some sort of soft cover.  You fill them up with boiling water, slip them into their cover, and place them in your bed.  Drew and I picked up a small one for me the other day.

We still aren't sure what it is- a bear perhaps??  But he's soft and fuzzy and I love him!  Now at night I fill him up and carry him around wherever I go.  Surprisingly, he stays very warm for hours.  It has been a big help for my extra cold feet.  This guy will be coming home with me.
