This is an interesting point, I was so busy trying to relate it to the history and place that I didn't even consider just an overall theme for his readers to live by. It is interesting how at first, before his death he notices very little, I mean c'mon he runs into a window! But after that, he notices the little things, like you said, like the dishes or how he is staring out the window. Or even how you said he is optimistic by calling his inconvenience an adventure and earlier in the story he feels like he is in hell. It's interesting how Borges displays this theme.
