十月二十八日(jyugatsu nijyuhachi nichi): October 28

It was a very cold rainy day.
I got something I bought by mail-order business. Mail-order business is tsushin hanbai (通信販売), the abbreviation is tsuhan (通販). I was not sure what I ordered, but I am so glad to find the goods because it was a wearing blanket (着る毛布:kiru mofu), a blanket with sleeves. It was not so warm as I expected, but it is light and interesting.
It seems in the USA it is called "Snuggie."
There was something close to this item in Japan called kaimaki (掻い巻き), a sleeved coverlet. But I have never seen the wearing blanket until this year.
