Futon Potato Today was my day off. Recently, I have been overwhelmed with a heavy work load and exhausted so I didn't go out. I was a "Futon potato." "Futon" is Japanese bed. I don't have a couch so I lied on futon and watched TV series all day. I also love watching TV series in the bathtub. (Two days ago, I slipped my i phone into bathtub though! lol) If I can lie in the bathtub, I will be a bathtub potato!
